Lots and requirements (4)Procurement structure
4 lots · no lot values publishedLot #1BiodiversityPlanned
the requirement is to measure biodiversity in existing and new woodland and provide a projection of how it may change over time based on the interventions of planting and protecting trees in and outside of woodland.
Lot #2Water qualityPlanned
improving water quality is a key objective and area of interest. Indicators measuring water quality are absent and it will be beneficial to understand the number of hectares planted by NCF in areas of England with lowest water quality and the change in water quality as a result.
Lot #3Carbon sequestrationPlanned
it will be important to measure carbon sequestration e.g. a model) versus more complex site-specific sequestration measurement (across different areas, soil types, rock types, tree age, and tree types).
Lot #4Air qualityPlanned
the requirement is to model the level of pollutant removal which NCF planting will deliver for six priority air pollutants: PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NH3, NO2, O3. The actual pollutant removal NCF trees programme will achieve is location and species dependent and cannot be currently accurately quantified. The existing indicator is crudely modelled.
