Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is initiating the Medmerry Islands Restoration project, focusing on restoring 0.8 hectares of shingle within the Medmerry nature reserve. Classified under site preparation work (CPV code: 45100000), this initiative will involve mechanical clearance and redepositing of the shingle, cutting vegetation, and installing a seasonal predator exclusion fence. The tender process is active, with the submission deadline set for 28th October 2024, and the project is scheduled to start on 3rd February 2025. Situated in Sidlesham, England (postcode PO20 7NX), this procurement invites businesses to help deliver significant seascape-scale nature restoration as part of the wider Solent Seascape Project.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses, especially those experienced in site preparation and mechanical excavation work. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. With a clear focus on ecological restoration and habitat creation, companies with expertise in environmental projects, mechanical plant operations, and fencing solutions are well-suited to compete for this contract. Completing this project will not only enhance the Medmerry reserve but will also bolster the contractor's portfolio with significant conservation success, potentially leading to further opportunities within the RSPB and other similar projects.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Medmerry Islands Restoration

Notice Description

The primary aim of this project is to restore 0.8ha of shingle on a series of four islands within our Medmerry nature reserve by mechanical clearance and redepositing the top 20cm of shingle to form fresh, bare substrate. This will be accompanied by the cutting of a buffer layer of vegetation to ground level next to the shingle, the cutting of patches in a further area beyond this, and installation of removable fence posts for a seasonal predator exclusion fence. Amphibious plant machinery will most likely be needed for access. Full details can be found on the attached documents. This project is being funded and delivered as part of the Solent Seascape Project, an ambitious 5 year project that aims to deliver significant seascape scale nature restoration within the Solent. Along with other elements nationally, they also form part of our Species Coastal and Wetlands Programme.
