The aim of the EES is to get a true understanding of the condition of England's terrestrial environment, and to do this we need to identify landowners and land users, and secure land access permission to carry out surveys on their land. The surveys, which will be conducted under a separate contracting method to this contract, will collect data relating to habitats, vegetation, peat and landscape as well as soil and water biota eDNA and support Natural England's earth observation programme. The requirement is split in to two parts: Part 1 - 2024 Access Permission Contact and Request Process - Contact and responses for 2024 (940 monads with up to 6 1ha squares within each). - Gaining access permission for England Ecosystem Survey 2024. - Expected to be completed by October 2023 Part 2 - 2023 Response and Acknowledgement Process - Responding to survey participants from 2023 - Will commence October 2023 and will focus on contacting landowners who gave permission for survey in 2023 and thanking them for their participation. Additional information: The NCEA programme is a partnership across Defra and its ALBs, in addition to building cross-government, private sector and non-profit collaborations.
