In summary, the Services comprise: a. A Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the first revision of the National Planning Framework, which complies with the requirements of EU Directive 2001/42/EC and the European Communities (Environmental Assessment of Certain Plans and Programmes) Regulations 2004 to 2011; and b. a screening for Appropriate Assessment (AA) of the first revision of the National Planning Framework, which complies with the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and S.I. No. 477/2011 (European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011), as amended; c. subject to the results of the AA screening process, an AA of the first revision of the National Planning Framework including preparation of a Natura Impact Statement (NIS), which complies with the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations (2011) (S.I.

A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) of the first revision of the National Planning Framework, which complies with the Floods Directive (2007/60/EC) and the European Communities (Assessment and Management of Flood Risks) Regulations (2010) (S.I.

Tenderers should note that the EAU has completed an AA Screening Determination dated 5 July 2023 of the Road Map for the First Revision of the National Planning Framework and determined, in accordance with Regulation 42A(8) of S.I. No. 477/2011 (European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011), that an AA of the Draft Framework is required because it cannot be concluded, on the basis of objective scientific information following a Screening for AA, that the Draft Framework individually or in combination with other plans or projects will not have a significant effect on a European site or sites. The Contracting Authority is seeking one supplier for the requirements of this RFT. It is currently envisaged that the successful Tenderer will commence work in September 2023, subject to issue of a letter of appointment and signing of the contract.
