This project focuses on marine survey services, specifically utilising drop down video (DDV) techniques for ecological assessments. The tender is designed to gather data on subtidal features and invasive species in the North East of England. Proposals are due by 28th July 2022, with the contract expected to start on 8th August 2022 and end on 7th October 2022. The estimated value of the contract is £20,000. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in marine survey services and ecological research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in environmental assessments, data collection, and analysis are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By participating in this project, businesses can enhance their portfolio and gain experience working with government agencies on significant marine conservation initiatives. ## Notice On behalf of Natural England, Cefas wish to undertake ecological survey work to acquire data from the Berwickshire to North Northumberland Coast SAC to contribute to condition assessment of selected features of this site using drop down video (DDV) surveying techniques. All collected sample data must be delivered as set out below alongside a report of survey. - Objective 1: Acquire high quality video/image data sufficient to verify the extent and distribution of subtidal 'reef' and 'reef like' features, determine the main characterising species present and quantitative enumeration of fauna within such habitats so that temporal comparisons can be made, as far as possible, with previous data collected; - Objective 2: Identify and record the abundance and location of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) (Descriptor 2) and marine litter (Descriptor 10) wherever encountered during surveys, to satisfy the requirements of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and any observed evidence of anthropogenic impacts. Upon review of existing data, locations for ~ 10-minute DDV camera tows are proposed across four survey areas (Annex 1) to characterise macrofauna assemblages, confirm Broad Scale Habitat (BSH) type and gather evidence of reef features. Stations have been selected to ground truth one of the following features as previously identified from acoustic data; on the reef, off- reef or lee of reef. https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/47766652018216E9B375 for full details... ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41b34943-44db-4adb-aeb4-4e19d5f44701 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 7 Aug 2022 - 7 Oct 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | 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 | LOWESTOFT | | Post town | Norwich | | Postcode | NR33 0HT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH6 Suffolk | | ITL 3 | TLH63 East Suffolk | | Local authority | East Suffolk | | Electoral ward | Kirkley & Pakefield | | Westminster constituency | Lowestoft | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71354500 - Marine survey services - 79311300 - Survey analysis services ## Release History - 26 Jul 2022 at 08:32 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41b34943-44db-4adb-aeb4-4e19d5f44701 - 19 Jul 2022 at 14:59 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41b34943-44db-4adb-aeb4-4e19d5f44701 - 19 Jul 2022 at 14:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41b34943-44db-4adb-aeb4-4e19d5f44701 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/41b34943-44db-4adb-aeb4-4e19d5f44701 26th July 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cefas.co.uk - https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/go/47766652018216E9B375 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
