## Summary

Forestry England is inviting tenders for the provision of specialist ecological surveys in the South England Forest District, focusing on bats and botanical species. This procurement, classified under CPV code 79311000 for survey services, is currently in the tender stage with a submission deadline set for 27 February 2025, 12:00 GMT. The project, valued at GBP 200,000, will span across regions identified predominantly within the Crown Lands of the New Forest. This open procedure aims to secure services for site-specific surveys, advice, and mitigation options where standard forestry operations may impact rare or protected species. Interested suppliers are encouraged to demonstrate their experience in handling such ecological surveys to meet the selection criteria.

This tender offers significant business opportunities, particularly for small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in ecological assessments and environmental consultancy. Given the requirement for demonstrable experience in surveying and assessing impacts on various species and habitats, businesses with expertise in botany, zoology, and environmental impact assessments will find this contract suitable. The framework not only provides financial growth through the engagement in ecological surveys but also opens pathways for long-term collaboration with Forestry England, potentially leading to recurring contracts as indicated by the January 2029 recurrence of similar procurement needs.

## Notice

Forestry England have a requirement for a framework for specialist ecological surveys in the South England Forest District (SEFD). The aim of this framework is to secure a resource to provide site-specific survey, advice and/or mitigation options for sites within SEFD (predominantly within the Crown Lands of the New Forest) where standard forestry operations, habitat restoration work, planning applications, buildings maintenance and/or Open Forest management activities may impact on rare and/or protected species. We therefore expect suppliers to have demonstrable experience in surveying and assessing the impacts of these operations on these species groups and habitats. This will be evaluated as part of the tender selection process.
