Description

The purpose of this brief is to to produce a detailed herbivore implementation plan for the management of herbivores across the Linking Levisham project area. This work will build on existing feasibility work for herbivory/grazing at Linking Levisham and Wild Newtondale.
The Herbivore Implementation Plan will review the findings and recommendations of feasibility work to date, and develop a detailed plan which will focus on: infrastructure, animal management, grazier management, risk assessment, and the development of a topline budget for implementation.
There are 2 work packages that can be quoted for seperately: Work package 1 is for the design of an ecological grazing scheme and Woek package 2 is for workshops with the land managers and converting the grazing scheme into practise.

Sustainable Estates Solutions Framework Agreement

This is a replacement framework for the current Sustainbale Estates Framework awarded under PCR2015. The framework agreement is intended to provide a quick and legally-compliant route to market for NHS, and other public sector, organisations to procure services to enable the decarbonisation of their built environments. Although principally intended as a procurement vehicle for NHS organisations in England, the Agreement will, subject to approval by the Contracting Authority, be available to all organisations detailed in the Contract Notice (each, a “Procuring Authority” and “Customer”). This is intended to include all NHS and other public sector organisations in the United Kingdom. Lot Structure This framework is a single lot to enable flexibility to compete and award across multiple service lines. The sixteen service lines under this framework are: 1 Consultancy: 2 Works 2A - Sustainable Insulation 2B - Natural Ventilation 2C - Energy Efficient Windows and Doors 2D - Heat Pumps/Passive Cooling Systems 2E - Combined Heat and Power Systems 2F - Rainwater Harvesting 2G - Energy & Water Efficient Appliances 2H - Energy-Efficient Lighting Systems 2I - Solar Shading/Canopy Cover 2J - Solar Film 2K - Water efficient system 2L - Energy efficient system 2M – Electric Vehicle Charging Systems/Stations 3 Power generation and storage: 3A - Solar Power Generation and Storage 3B - Wind Power Generation and Storage 4 Nature-based solutions: 4A - Living Walls 4B - Rainwater Gardens 4C - Green Roof Spaces 4D - Wellbeing Green Spaces 4E – Kitchen Garden and Allotment Solutions– Prepare spec for this 4F – Gardening & Landscaping Services Lot 5: Bespoke Service

Riparian Buffer Strip Tool and Methodology for project assessments

Natural England is developing the Conservation Measures Standard to underpin the delivery of the NRF. Part of this work requires a methodology and tool for quantify the nutrient reductions generated through implementing riparian buffer strips (RBS) in Nutrient Neutrality (NN) catchments to improve water quality. This tool will facilitate mitigation scheme suppliers to design and deliver robust RBS to generate nutrient reductions capable of offsetting nutrient inputs from development in NN catchments. This tool and its associated guidance will be part of a wider project Natural England has begun to produce standardised tools, guidance and assessment criteria to ensure conservation measure projects (mitigation schemes) are effective at achieving the intended environmental outcome. This project, the Conservation Measures Standard (CMS), will develop Solution Toolkits for each of the measure relied upon to deliver nutrient mitigation, prioritising the most effective and commonly used measures to allow scheme suppliers to design and implement high-quality schemes in accordance with the set standard. This request for work will build on existing work on RBS to generate nutrient mitigation by commissioning a comprehensive methodology and tool to accurately quantify the nutrient reduction achieved at a project scale through the implementation of RBS. The commission forms two parts, the first request is to design a robust methodology to calculate the N and P reduction achieved in kg/year by implementing a RBS project in a NN catchment. This will need to be developed in collaboration with NE and should incorporate the existing evidence base commissioned by NE. The second part of this commission is to use GIS and data science/analytics to develop a tool to enable site specific calculations for N and P reductions achieved by a RBS project. This must be based on the above methodology and should incorporate a level of precaution to account for any uncertainty. The work should align with other publications and tools generated by NE to quantify the nutrient inputs resulting from new development (Nutrient Neutrality calculators) and to quantify the nutrient reductions achieved by Nature-based Solutions/mitigation measures (Cover Crop calculators).

Septic Tank and PTP upgrade: opportunity mapping & modelling

Natural England are exploring the use of replacing inefficient septic tanks and package treatment plants (PTPs) with PTPs that have a higher treatment efficiency for phosphorus and nitrogen to improve water quality in up to 27 catchments. The anticipated catchments are detailed in a table in the Annex. For each catchment, we require estimates of the following:   Scale of opportunity: The scale of opportunity (in units) of upgrading inefficient septic tanks and PTPs in each catchment. This will need to be mapped using GI software.  Nutrient reduction: The potential nutrient reduction achieved (in kg/TP and kg/TN) for phosphorus and/or nitrogen depending on the NN catchment from replacing inefficient septic tanks and PTPs with more efficient PTPs.  Cost: The cost of delivering replacement PTPs and septic tanks at-scale.   In addition to the estimates above, the following deliverables are required:   Methodologies: Will need to be developed based on Natural England's existing methods and in consultation with Natural England and created using national datasets.   Datasets & code: Natural England will need the ability to run the model independently once the commission is complete. Any datasets and code used to create the methodology, estimates and mapping will need to be made available to NE upon completion.  Technical reports: The decided upon methodology will need to be written into a report to ensure it is reproducible by others. This should highlight any uncertainties where they arise.   These deliverables will need to be managed and administered by Natural England once the project is complete and are likely to be amended and updated over time.
