    Brief

    Natural England is seeking a contractor to conduct a comprehensive monitoring survey of intertidal rock habitats within The Wash and North Norfolk Coast Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The survey will assess five key attributes of the intertidal rock sub-feature to identify evidence gaps and validate existing data. The contractor must produce detailed biotope data classified to EUNIS Habitat Classification levels 5 and 6, documenting the presence and distribution of biological communities across intertidal zones. This evidence will support Natural England's statutory obligations to monitor designated sites and provide expert environmental assessment for management decisions and condition evaluations. Field surveys are scheduled between mid-April and mid-October, with a final comprehensive report required by February 2027.
