Tenders to be received no later than 17:00 on 11th August 2023. Clarification questions deadline is 3rd August 2023. The request is for quotations to conduct saline lagoon survey of Pagham Harbour SSSI lagoon. The survey will follow sampling plans from previous surveys of the site to identify state and changes in state for an ecological component of biodiversity, and identify whether changes are due to natural change or as a result of anthropogenic activities, The key objectives for the survey are to: 1. Provide an assessment of the direction of ecological change by the integration of previously obtained relevant data. 2. Repeat the previously used survey design to ensure the data are statistically robust enough to enable the collection of compatible future data and comparison with previous surveys of the site permitting quantitative long-term trend analysis. 3. Identify anthropogenic influences, impacting on the ability of the sub-feature to achieve Favourable Condition, and where possible quantify them. 4. Ensure that newly collected data is compatible (analytically) with historical survey data, and will make reference to and utilise such historical data. Data sampling and analysis will adhere to the standards set out in the RFQ
