3 | Protected Species and Invasive Non-Native Species This is an award notice and not a call for competition — Lot 3 will be used to procure surveys, reports and advice for protected species and INNS associated with the delivery of Environment Agency (EA) flood risk projects and habitat enhancement projects. These projects will mostly be of an aquatic/riparian nature, including work in and adjacent to rivers, lakes and wetlands. As such, we require that suppliers offering these services are able to demonstrate applied knowledge of the EA regulatory and operational role, and that suppliers are able to demonstrate applied knowledge of providing the services detailed below for rivers, lakes and wetlands. Natural England (NE) may use this lot to procure surveys to inform designated site strategies, as part of designated sites monitoring work, to develop plans for the new nature recovery network, to inform possible enforcement action and partnership project working. |
4 | River Restoration, Habitat Creation and Fish Passage Design This is an award notice and not a call for competition. Lot 4 is designed to allow Environment Agency and Natural England staff to supplement our in-house expertise on using natural processes to manage and restore rivers and habitats, with the additional resource and expertise that external suppliers can offer. In particular Lot 4 focuses upon the supply of river restoration, habitat creation and fish passage design expertise. We seek bids from contractors who are able to use these skills to help us understand the natural functioning of the water environment through survey and assessment work, and to help us understand and design the most effective way to deliver projects that improve natural geomorphological, hydrological and ecological processes for the purposes of reducing flood risk, restoring habitats and improving fish passage. We want suppliers to demonstrate the ability to work at the strategic catchment scale as well as the local. |
