The procurement process was completed, and the contract period runs from 10th October 2023 to 15th March 2024. The total contract value is 30,000 GBP for research and environmental services. The tender was for an open procedure with a tender deadline of 4th October 2023, and the contract was awarded to Sheffield Ecologist on 9th October 2023. This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies specializing in research and environmental services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete. Businesses interested in conducting surveys related to raised bogs and wetlands would find this tender suitable. As the contract period extends to March 2024, successful bidders have the chance to enhance their portfolio and contribute to nature conservation efforts. ## Notice Following recent review and update of the Raised Bog inventory for England, it has become apparent that Northumberland supports a large number of raised bogs sites which have received little or no previous attention or recognition. Not only are there many sites, they are also relatively undamaged relative to similar sites elsewhere in the country. In addition to raised bogs, some sites also support minerotrophic wetlands including calcareous fens, acidic fens and Molinia meadow vegetation, significantly increasing their national importance. We are looking for survey of 20 individual sites within a cluster of bogs in mid-Northumberland. Fieldwork should be started as soon as possible, and final reports should be submitted by 15 March 2024.
