This is a large award for Research & Development — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 20,405 valued Research & Development tenders in our corpus.
Surrey County Council and borough and district councils across Surrey, wish to: i.
Understand the potential supply of Biodiversity units on public sector owned land, with the view to establishing a portfolio of Biodiversity gain sites (BNG habitat banks) and ii.
Identify locations and measures that will deliver multiple environmental benefits, in particular restoring/enhancing habitats in combination with increasing carbon storage and/or in combination with natural flood management.
Surrey County Council wishes to appoint a consultant to undertake an assessment of the baseline biodiversity units, at a range of public sector owned sites, and an appraisal of potential biodiversity unit gains (by enhancing, restoring or creating habitats).
The opportunity for BNG uplift should take into account the current / future land use of the site and be realistic to achieve.
The uplifts should also be based on ecological best practice and take account of existing local biodiversity policies, principally including Surrey Nature Partnership’s Biodiversity Opportunity Area (BOA) Policy statements (where relevant) and the National Character Area profiles for sites outside of BOA boundaries.
In addition, the County Council places significant importance on landscape-appropriate local carbon sequestration, tree planting and natural flood management (NFM) opportunities.
In particular, the county council has set a target to plant 1 million trees by 2030 and as Lead Local Flood Authority, has identified priority areas for catchment approaches to managing flood risk.
The County Council has recently completed a desk top exercise to provide a ‘best guess’ of habitat type across Surrey (OS master map feature).
This data set will be available to the successful consultant, as a potential starting point for baseline surveys.
In addition, previous ecology survey reports (such as Phase 1 habitat surveys, management plans) will also be made available for the site (where existing ecological data exists).
