## Summary

The Scottish Government is currently managing the tender for the "Production of Cumulative Effects Framework for Key Ecological Receptors," which falls under the services category, relevant to the environmental industry. The project is located around the coast of Scotland and is currently in the active procurement stage. Interested parties must submit their bids by 12:00 on 9th December 2019. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing any qualified supplier to participate.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, consultancy, and ecological assessments. Companies with a strong understanding of cumulative effects in ecological contexts and experience in managing or analysing environmental impacts would be well-suited to compete. Potential bidders should have a robust financial standing and relevant certifications, as well as a demonstrated capability to deliver high-quality, compliant proposals within the specified deadlines.

## Notice

The aim of the CEF is to provide a baseline of current effects on to which are added the effects estimated any by a new project or projects to produce a cumulative effects total. The baseline will be updated as new projects are brought into the planning system. The project purpose is not to replace individual project-level assessment estimates of their potential effects. Crucially, the CEF tool developed must be capable of delivering estimated project level and cumulative effects, rather than simply the principles for doing so, and be able to demonstrate this functionality within the project timescales.
