Development of a Federal Spatial Plan for Cross-Border Biotope Network Protection

This German public procurement tender, published in Bonn, seeks a contractor to develop a test plan for a federal spatial plan focused on cross-border biotope network protection. The project aims to support state-level planning and contributes to a model spatial planning initiative. Practically, this likely involves significant research, data analysis (potentially GIS data), stakeholder engagement across multiple jurisdictions (given the 'cross-border' aspect), and the creation of a detailed spatial plan document. The output will serve as a 'test plan', suggesting a pilot project or phased implementation is anticipated.

The scale and complexity will depend on the geographic scope of the cross-border network and the number of states involved. The lack of a specified region makes it difficult to narrow down this aspect. The 'general' trade category is vague and could encompass planning firms, environmental consultancies with spatial planning expertise, or potentially even larger construction firms with strong in-house planning divisions. A critical consideration will be demonstrating experience with spatial planning, environmental regulations, and ideally, cross-border projects.

Given the focus on spatial planning and the development of a 'test plan', it's unlikely this is purely a construction project. The absence of CPV codes further limits our understanding of the specific expertise required. However, the deadline is relatively tight, suggesting a degree of urgency and implying well-defined expectations from the contracting authority.
