In plain English
Natural England, the government body for the natural environment in England, wants a company to count wintering birds at 40 sample sites in farmland and other open land within 10 km of the Humber Estuary, a protected wildlife site. The survey results will feed into a habitat mapping project that identifies where wintering waterbirds and waders are likely to live in the surrounding countryside.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out wintering bird surveys at 40 sample locations in agricultural fields and other open habitats up to 10 km from the Humber Estuary Special Protection Area • Collect the bird survey data needed for Natural England's habitat suitability modelling project • Complete the fieldwork between January and the end of February 2027, or into early March 2027 if required
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not set out specific qualifications, insurance, accreditations or past experience, but the work requires surveyors to cover 40 locations across a wide rural area within a short winter window, so a business would need enough staff and capacity to deliver that fieldwork on schedule.
Always check the tender documents.
