This initiative falls under the industry category of Environmental Services and is set in London, England. The tender is currently in the active stage and has a deadline for submissions on 16th November 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 7th December 2020 and run until 31st March 2021. This is an open procurement process, specifically an open procedure below threshold. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are focused on environmental services and data management. Companies with expertise in developing online platforms, databases, and landscape change monitoring will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging with this tender could help businesses expand their portfolio and establish long-term partnerships with key stakeholders in environmental conservation, leveraging their capabilities to contribute to sustainable practices in landscape management. ## Notice This project is a key component within Defra's and Natural England's wider programme of work including supporting the creation of resilient landscapes. The outputs and evidence from this project will directly inform a range of strategic work included within Natural England's statutory remit for the conservation and enhancement of England's landscapes, and how and why they are changing. Key policy areas are: - the Defra 25 Year Environment Plan Indicator G1: Changes in landscape and waterscape character. - Conserving and enhancing all landscapes (including obligations under the European Landscape Convention for monitoring landscape change) - Statutory duties for the designation and advice relating to protected landscapes, including responding to proposals within the Glover Landscapes Review for enhanced monitoring of landscape change. This project includes 2 strands of work (detailed below) that need to develop closely to complement each other and be brought together as integrated products. The project involves a short review of previous work undertaken through pilot projects, followed by development and roll-out of a new National Character Area (NCA) profile platform, alongside development of a supporting database, change atlas and dashboard. This project will lay foundations for future phases to expand both products (subject to future funding). The initial package involves tight timescales requiring capacity for work strands to run partly in parallel; it will also require some innovative and creative input to help deliver the outputs in an engaging and exciting way. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67a61f07-3f75-4e04-aa8c-8676d1234f74 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 16 Nov 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Dec 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 23 Oct 2020 at 13:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67a61f07-3f75-4e04-aa8c-8676d1234f74 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/67a61f07-3f75-4e04-aa8c-8676d1234f74 23rd October 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk Link to eSourcing Portal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
