In plain English

Natural England wants a research project that maps Open Mosaic Habitat (a rare, protected habitat of bare, disturbed ground, usually on former industrial land) across the Tees Estuary. The work will show where this habitat is, what types exist, whether it has changed over time, and which species use it, then recommend a ranked list of actions to protect and improve it.

What the buyer wants

• Map the existing Open Mosaic Habitat across the Tees Estuary, including areas not yet recorded, and identify the types present. • Compare habitat resource over time to show whether it has increased or declined, and collate species records to identify important species and any characteristic habitat communities. • Identify opportunities to maintain and enhance the habitat and produce a prioritised list of actions.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice sets out no explicit eligibility criteria, but the work is specialist ecological mapping and research, so a business without ecological survey and habitat mapping capability would most likely be ruled out.
