Hydrological monitoring on a subset of restoration sites (blanket bogs and raised bogs) has been ongoing since 2014 through water level loggers and rain gauges. NatureScot/Peatland Action set up 121 water loggers and 25 rain gauges across 38 sites, with most equipment installed in 2014 and 2015. A number of loggers have been removed and 35 sites are still being monitored. For numerous sites the datasets are non-continuous, for example, due to equipment failures. The dataset used for this project will include all valid data collected across all sites between 2014 and 2022. Eight years into this monitoring NatureScot/Peatland Action would like to review the dataset and study design with three inter-related work packages which are 1) Individual site summaries (38 non technical summaries) and interpretation. 2) National dataset analysis and interpretation, technical report. 3) Options appraisal report for future hydrological monitoring. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT462335 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Oct 2022 | | Submission deadline | 19 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 5 Oct 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £24,421 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH NATURAL HERITAGE | | Locality | INVERNESS | | Post town | Inverness | | Postcode | IV3 8NW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Inverness West | | Westminster constituency | Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | APEM | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71351900 - Geology, oceanography and hydrology services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 21 Oct 2022 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT462335 - 12 Aug 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG456195 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG456195&idx=1 12th August 2022 - Statement of requirements - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG456195&idx=2 12th August 2022 - Provision of services - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG456195 Peatland ACTION - Hydrological monitoring review - NatureScot would like to bring together external hydrology experts and Peatland Action restoration expertise to work collaboratively on a desk based review of our hydrological monitoring data.
