The objective of this tender is to develop a modelling framework to predict the impact of environmental changes on biodiversity over the next 25-50 years across the UK. The total contract value is £250,000, with a contract period starting on September 4, 2023, and ending on March 14, 2025. The procurement stage is currently active, with the submission deadline set for August 4, 2023. The procurement process is open, and electronic and written submissions are accepted. This tender presents a significant opportunity for research partners to engage in a long-term endeavour that involves developing a holistic framework to assess biodiversity impacts from environmental changes. Businesses with expertise in research and development services, especially in the field of nature conservation and environmental consultancy, are well-suited to compete for this contract. The Joint Nature Conservation Committee, as the buying organisation, seeks suppliers with proven financial stability and experience in similar projects to support the development of this critical modelling framework to drive nature recovery in the UK. ## Notice In November 2022, JNCC and the Statutory Nature Conservation Bodies published a joint statement on Nature Recovery. This set out the need to embed nature recovery in UK decision-making and to deliver impactful policies that incentivise and drive public and private investment in the protection and recovery of the UK's nature through all our activities. As envisaged in that statement, the global community has now committed to the ambitious Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. In May 2023, JNCC published a new strategy: Together for Nature (https://jncc.gov.uk/about-jncc/our-strategy); this further set out the need to advise on the design of new policies and actions to progress nature recovery. However, despite a strong evidence base on biodiversity in the UK, we currently lack the technical capability to use this evidence to model the impact of potential environmental, societal and policy trajectories on biodiversity. ### Lot Information Lot 1 JNCC is seeking research partners to help develop a modelling framework for predicting the impact on biodiversity from changes to the environment over the next 25-50 years across the whole of the UK. This framework must identify and be responsive to critical drivers of biodiversity change, including climate, society, land use and land management. The framework must allow for different scenarios to be developed and run to assess how different societal and policy choices could affect biodiversity. The framework should be designed to model a range of different biodiversity measures including measures of both species and habitat outcomes to provide a holistic view of biodiversity change. Development of this modelling framework is likely to be a long-term endeavour. During the course of this contractual period, both the initial development and longer term planning ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018576-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Sep 2023 - 14 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | £250,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | JOINT NATURE CONSERVATION COMMITTEE | | Locality | UK-PETERBOROUGH: ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES. | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE2 8YY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH41 Peterborough | | Local authority | Peterborough | | Electoral ward | Fletton and Stanground | | Westminster constituency | North West Cambridgeshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 29 Jun 2023 at 15:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018576-2023 ## Notice URLs - http://www/jncc.gov.uk - https://jncc.gov.uk/about-jncc/our-strategy - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/viewNotice.html?noticeId=792283731 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
