This initiative, part of the NCEA programme, focuses on creating integrated surveys for environmental monitoring. Set in the United Kingdom, based in London, specifically at the Seacole Building, the procurement follows an open competition method below the threshold. The process is already in the 'Award' stage as of 12th August 2025, with the contract active from 5th August 2025 until 28th February 2026, with a possible extension to 31st March 2026. It focuses on the services category, specifically survey services, with the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology awarded the contract for a total gross value of £87,167.47. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in environmental services, technology, and citizen engagement, as it seeks to enhance survey participation and evidence-based insights. SMEs and organisations experienced in delivering survey services, environmental monitoring, or public engagement projects may find this project aligns with their expertise, offering potential growth by collaborating on innovative survey designs and expanding into new areas of citizen science and environmental assessment. The project promises added value through collaborative networks and adaptive management, supporting both local and national environmental monitoring efforts. ## Notice Natural England, on behalf of Defra and the NCEA programme, are working to design and test Integrated Surveys for collaborative monitoring. This contract aims to bring together a range of accessible survey approaches and methods, considering how these should be deployed in unison to achieve greater survey participation, capacity, capability and a greater result in terms of both science & evidence insight and public engagement. The evidence gathered through this collaborative monitoring approach will contribute valuable understanding to the quick detection of pressures and environmental change and inform adaptive management. The integrated surveys are designed to provide wider direct & in-direct benefits than would be possible using each method alone. The surveys should be capable of being understood and deployed as a coherent whole, with their components providing a range of different opportunities and approaches to contribute to ### Planning Information N/A ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047872-2025 | | 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, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | 21 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | 13 Jun 2025 | | Award date | 30 Jul 2025 | | Contract period | 4 Aug 2025 - 28 Feb 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | £1 | | Awards value | £72,639 | | Contracts value | £72,639 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, FOOD AND RURAL AFFAIRS | | Additional buyers | 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | UK CENTRE FOR ECOLOGY & HYDROLOGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 79311000 - Survey services - 90711000 - Environmental impact assessment other than for construction - 90711500 - Environmental monitoring other than for construction ## Release History - 12 Aug 2025 at 09:02 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047872-2025 - 31 Jul 2025 at 09:20 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044608-2025 - 10 Jun 2025 at 15:03 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031338-2025 - 5 Jun 2025 at 09:03 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030113-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/047872-2025 12th August 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/044608-2025 31st July 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031338-2025 10th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/030113-2025 5th June 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-9529.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://defra-family.force.com/s/Welcome - https://www.ceh.ac.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
