This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on analytical or scientific software development services. Located in London, this open competition aimed at developing an R Shiny app as part of a larger project. The procurement process progressed through initiation and award phases, with a contract awarded to BLACK BAWKS DATA SCIENCE LTD., a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Invergarry, UK. The contract, valued at £39,520, was signed on 17th June 2026, with a contractual period extending from 22nd June 2026 to 29th January 2027. Key deadlines included a submission period ending at 5 PM on 3rd June 2026. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in software development, particularly those capable of delivering user-friendly digital solutions within the environmental sector. Enterprises skilled in creating analytical tools for environmental applications will find this project aligns with their capabilities. The successful development and deployment of the Seabird Flight Height Toolkit will provide a vital resource for offshore wind developers, conservation bodies, and academic professionals, positioning the supplier at the forefront of ecological data solutions and advancing collaborations within the industry. SMEs, particularly those with expertise in scientific and analytical software, are well-suited to engage with such opportunities, delivering innovative tools and securing a foothold in a niche market. ## Notice As part of the ReSCUE project, Natural England is seeking the services of a contractor to develop a R Shiny app wrapper for a set of tools and associated information developed during the project. This app will be deployed online and provide a user-friendly interface to ensure the outputs from the project are readily accessible and the impacts are maximised. This work fits under ReSCUE Work Package 3, which aims to develop a Seabird Flight Height Toolkit, providing functionality agreed with industry stakeholders and experts in an Expert Panel Workshop that was held in November 2025. The toolkit will be one of ReSCUE's flagship, public-facing outputs. We envisage offshore wind (OWF) developers, consultants, Statutory Nature Conservation Bodies (SNCB) colleagues, Environmental Non-Governmental Organisations (eNGOs), and academics using the toolkit as the default industry reference point for accessing seabird flight height distributions and data in the UK. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060469-2026 | | 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 | 26 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 3 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Jun 2026 | | Contract period | 21 Jun 2026 - 29 Jan 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £41,667 | | Lots value | £41,667 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £39,520 | ## 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 | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BLACK BAWKS DATA SCIENCE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72212461 - Analytical or scientific software development services ## Release History - 26 Jun 2026 at 14:38 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060469-2026 - 29 May 2026 at 09:34 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050676-2026 - 18 May 2026 at 16:04 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/045513-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/060469-2026 26th June 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/050676-2026 29th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/045513-2026 18th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-16279 RFQ - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-16280 Order Form - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-16281 Commercial Response - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-16940 Clarification Q and A ## Notice URLs - http://www.blackbawks.net - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
