## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs is inviting tenders for the project titled "Eco-hydrological Guidelines for Blanket Bog Habitats." This tender falls under the industry category of development consultancy services and is located in England. The procurement process is currently in the active tender stage, with a submission deadline set for midday on 13th December 2021. The total value of the contract is £30,000, and the contract period is expected to commence on 21st December 2021, concluding on 31st March 2022. The procurement method is an open procedure, suitable for smaller enterprises.

This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses specialising in ecological and environmental consultancy to grow and expand their portfolios. Companies experienced in developing eco-hydrological guidelines or those with expertise in analytical modelling of ecological systems will be well-positioned to compete. Submissions from SMEs are especially welcomed, making it an ideal opportunity for smaller firms aiming to engage with government contracts in the environmental sector.

## Notice

The second phase of the development of Ecohydrological Guidelines for blanket bog and associated habitat requires conceptual models to be applied to pilot sites using existing datasets. Phase 2 builds on the previous scoping study (FY19-20) for which a final report is available, and future development stages are anticipated. The eventual product will better define the diverse eco-hydrological characteristics of what is often regarded as a homogenous ombrotrophic feature. The new suite of upland ecohydrological guidelines will complement those already existing for the lowlands and will be used by partners across the UK to support regulatory decision making. Additional information: To apply please respond to the attached request for quotation pack and associated documents. Send your response to: katharine.birdsall@environment-agency.gov.uk no later than midday on Monday 13th December 2021. Please include "RFQ Eco-hydrological guidelines" within the subject title.
