Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves a tender initiated by JNCC Support Co for conducting a feasibility study on the meta-analysis of red-throated diver displacement caused by offshore wind farms. This opportunity falls under the environmental protection sector, specifically concerning services related to ecological assessments. The tender was published on 5th January 2017, with proposals due by 27th January 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 3rd February 2017 and conclude by 3rd March 2017, with a budget of £12,000. The procurement method employed is selective, following a negotiated procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental consultancy and ecological studies, particularly those with expertise in marine biology and impact assessments related to renewable energy projects. Firms that specialise in statistical analyses and meta-studies will be well-suited to compete, as the work focuses on synthesising existing data to inform future offshore wind farm developments and their effects on local wildlife. Engaging with this project may lead to broader collaborations within the renewable energy sector, promoting business growth in a rapidly evolving industry.

Notice Title

Feasibility study for meta-analysis of red-throated diver displacement

Notice Description

To assess the feasibility and levels of stakeholder interest in undertaking a meta-analysis of data on displacement of red-throated divers by offshore wind farms. Red-throated divers winter around the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Irish Sea. Many offshore wind farms (OWF) have been constructed in these areas and there is evidence of red-throated divers being displaced from many of these developments. Additionally, they are displaced from a buffer area surrounding the wind farm. The size of the buffer has been disputed but, in the UK, was generally presumed to be 2-4km from the edge of the wind farm. However, there is increasing evidence of displacement occurring at much greater distances. The effects of these developments on red-throated diver distribution are usually only considered in isolation and comparisons between multiple developments have not been previously undertaken. Ideally, all data from developments across the North Sea, Baltic Sea and Irish Sea would be combined in a single meta-analysis that would give a single consolidated assessment of the extent of displacement of red-throated divers at offshore wind farms across Europe. These results would help reduce future consent risk for individual offshore wind farms through improving the evidence base on the extent of displacement of red-throated divers from a wind farm. The meta-analysis would also facilitate undertaking a cumulative effects assessment at the scale of the North Sea for this highly mobile migratory species. Additionally, results of the meta-analysis may reduce the need for future post-consent monitoring using digital aerial survey, potentially freeing up resources for tackling other more strategic questions, such as obtaining an understanding of the consequences of displacement on red-throated diver populations.
