Summary of the contracting process

The Freshwater Pearl Mussel Ark Project, managed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, aims to conserve and breed threatened populations of the freshwater pearl mussel in England. This initiative falls under the environmental management category, with a total contract value of £25,000. The procurement was officially awarded on 4th June 2020, with the contract period extending until 31st March 2021, and the completion date noted as 10th July 2020. The project has its operational base in Windermere, Cumbria, within the North West of England, and was initiated as a collaborative agreement.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental services, particularly those specialising in conservation, ecological management, and biodiversity projects. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in aquatic species management, particularly freshwater ecosystems, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders of a similar nature. The ongoing need for habitats' protection and restoration will likely result in numerous opportunities as environmental regulations and conservation efforts continue to gain prominence.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Freshwater Pearl Mussel Ark Project

Notice Description

The Freshwater Pearl Mussel ark project is an ongoing partnership project between the Environment Agency, Natural England and the Freshwater Biological Association. The project was established in 2007. A national holding facility has been established at the FBA in Windermere, Cumbria, to maintain and breed threatened populations of freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) from rivers across England, which supports the national plan of captive breeding and reintroduction to suitable rivers. The project has already achieved notable success with juvenile production and retention. The overall aim will be to have sufficient juvenile mussels from priority populations for reintroductions to be made from 2015 onwards.
