The procurement involved an open competition focusing on environmental services, and the contract, valued at £19,062 gross, was awarded to Andy Godfrey Associates, an SME based in Barnsley. The procurement reached the award and contract stage, with the contract commencing on 5th May 2025 and concluding on 20th March 2026. The surveys are to be conducted across sites including the Spurn Peninsula and various locations in Lincolnshire, with a comprehensive assessment expected by August 2025. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in environmental services, to contribute to governmental conservation efforts. Companies with expertise in ecological assessments and possessing capabilities in varied survey techniques, including ground searching and pitfall trapping, would be well-suited for this role. The project not only supports business growth by enhancing portfolios with government contracts but also plays a vital role in environmental preservation. Engaging in such projects can lead to long-term relationships with public authorities and open doors to future government contracts, laying a foundation for expanding expertise in specialised environmental monitoring and consultancy. ## Notice Surveys of invertebrates associated with sand dunes within the Humber Estuary SSSI, using Common Standards Monitoring sampling protocols. The survey sites are Spurn Peninsula (East Yorkshire), Humberston Dunes (North East Lincolnshire), Donna Nook (Lincolnshire), Saltfleet (Lincolnshire), with 4 sampling locations at each site. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: Quotes for the full project specification will be evaluated first, but if there is insufficient budget then the contract may be reduced in scope to cover either Spurn Peninsula or the 3 Lincolnshire sites. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023757-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 May 2025 | | Submission deadline | 27 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 29 Apr 2025 | | Contract period | 4 May 2025 - 20 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £24,000 | | Lots value | £24,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £15,885 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATURAL ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ANDY GODFREY ASSOCIATES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 21 May 2025 at 10:58 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023757-2025 - 11 Apr 2025 at 13:29 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014670-2025 - 9 Apr 2025 at 08:39 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013838-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023757-2025 21st May 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014670-2025 11th April 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013838-2025 9th April 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-557 RFQ - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-558 Order Form - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-559 Commercial Response - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-641 Clarifications to Bidders Questions ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
