About this tender

The Norwegian Environment Agency (Miljødirektoratet) is procuring a national breeding bird monitoring programme for 2027-2030. The service will provide data on population trends and distribution of breeding bird species in Norway, with particular focus on changes over time and geographic differences. The programme should show which species are declining, stable or increasing, and whether changes in bird communities may indicate environmental change across different habitat types. The scope includes field work, collection and processing of monitoring data, quality assurance, analysis, and reporting of results. The contract is a single-lot services contract under CPV classification for environmental monitoring (environmental impact analysis and environmental management services). Performance is anywhere in Norway. The contract runs from 01.02.2027 to 01.02.2031, about four years. The procurement is an open procedure under Directive 2014/24/EU and the Norwegian Public Procurement Regulations, and is not financed with EU funds. The estimated value is stated as 28,000,000-30,000,000 NOK excluding VAT in the description, and as 30,100,000 NOK in the notice summary. No USD conversion is given because the NOK rate is not in the supplied conversion table.
