## Summary

The Cairngorms Lochs Macroinvertebrate Survey tender process, initiated by www.cairngorms.co.uk in Grantown-on-Spey, aims to contract a consultant for ecological surveys in the Cairngorms National Park. The tender, valued at £10,000 GBP, is in the active stage with a submission deadline of 28th May 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure with electronic submission.

This tender presents an opportunity for environmental consulting firms with expertise in ecological surveys and monitoring services to engage in a long-term contract within the biodiversity conservation sector. Businesses specialising in environmental science, aquatic ecology, or biodiversity management would be well-suited to compete. The contract requires expertise in macroinvertebrate diversity assessment and ecosystem monitoring, aligning with the conservation objectives of the Cairngorms National Park.

## Notice

We would like to contract a consultant to undertake a macroinvertebrate survey of one lochs and one watercourse within the Spey Catchment where beavers have either been recently released or may colonise in due course. The contract is for two surveys, one late spring and one autumn to be undertaken in 2024 to coincide with eDNA and acoustic monitoring. We would expect the contract will continue in future years to provide a measure of macroinvertebrate diversity which we hypothesise will increase and/or change in response to beaver presence.
