What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionPeople’s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) currently maintain the Traditional Orchard Habitat Inventory, originally developed through a five-year partnership with Natural England. The dataset now requires updating to meet the latest Priority Determination (PriDET) standard.
This Memorandum of Agreement enables PTES to refresh the inventory using their bespoke data capture tool and specialist expertise in orchard habitat interpretation and ground-truthing. Recreating this tool externally would result in significant delays and increased costs. PTES are uniquely positioned to deliver this work efficiently and to the required technical standard.
