Soil Sampling and Analysis at Long-term Monitoring Network Sites in England 2015

This contract will process and analyse soil samples and process and collate data to contribute to the delivery of Natural England’s Long-term Monitoring Network (LTMN). The LTMN project is building on the work of the Environmental Change Network (ECN) and the Environmental Change Biodiversity Network (ECBN) to develop, with our partners, a cost-effective, long-term and integrated approach to meeting key evidence needs. ECBN sites will form the core of our Long-term Monitoring Network. Please note that, in contrast to previous invitations to tender, this invitation to tender does not require any fieldwork to collect the soil samples and other field information. This Contract was varied in October 2016.
