The contract is classified under the services category and falls under an open procurement method. The tender period concluded on 23rd August 2017, and the contract term is set from 7th November 2017 to 20th February 2020. The geographical scope includes the East of England in the United Kingdom, with a contract value of £28,000. Key dates include the publication of the award notice on 13th September 2017. This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in weather-forecasting and environmental consultancy services, particularly those with experience in wildlife conservation. Companies that can provide effective monitoring systems and data analysis during adverse weather conditions would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the open nature of the procurement process, this tender allows a variety of service providers to participate, potentially fostering economic growth in the relevant sectors. ## Notice The Severe Weather scheme is designed to help with conservation of waterbirds (ducks, geese, waders). During prolonged periods of severe weather these birds struggle to feed as the ground becomes hard, or snow covered, and they have less energy to deal with any disturbance. The scheme was designed to manage the disturbance caused by waterfowl shooting during prolonged periods of severe weather, but, increasingly, has a role in minimising disturbance from other recreational activities such as bird ringing, walking, water-based recreation etc. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act Section 2 (6) the relevant Secretary of State(s) has power to impose a temporary close season of waterbird shooting during 'prolonged severe weather'. The Severe Weather scheme provides an agreed process as to what qualifies as 'prolonged severe weather'. In this scheme, England and Wales are dealt with together as one location, separately from Scotland. For more background information please see http://www.jncc.gov.uk/page-2894.
