The procurement stage is currently active with a deadline for submissions by 4th December 2023. The contract period is set to start on 8th December 2023 and end on 15th March 2024. This opportunity is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs). This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the research and development consultancy sector to engage with Natural England in a hydrological review project, aimed at restoring a more naturalised hydrology in water-stressed areas of Norfolk and Suffolk. Companies specialising in environmental monitoring, hydrological analysis, and landscape management would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Interested businesses must meet the submission deadline of 4th December 2023 to be considered for this valuable opportunity in the services category. ## Notice PLEASE NOTE: the closing date for this notice has been extended to 06/12/23. Norfolk and Suffolk are among the most water stressed areas of the country and have a high proportion of the country's water dependent priority habitats such as Alkaline Fens. Within this area, the Broads SAC/ SPA/ Ramsar is a the largest and most connected suite of sites. Since 2016, NE has worked with partners to deploy linked hydrological and vegetation monitoring transects to understand these relationships better and look at spatial and temporal change. This contract is an over-arching review of all the data collected since 2016 with a view to further developing hydrological understanding, site management and landscape actions directed at restoring a more naturalised hydrology.
