Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Natural Heritage is seeking to establish a framework agreement for the delivery of beaver advice and management interventions, set to commence in June 2021 and operational for a maximum of three years until March 31, 2024. This procurement process falls under the wildlife preservation services category and is currently at the active tender stage. Interested parties are required to submit their interest by April 8, 2021, to be considered for the subsequent evaluation stage, which entails an invitation to tender scheduled for April 15, 2021. The procurement method is a selective procedure, allowing for the engagement of a limited number of consultants to advise on mitigating the impacts of beaver activity across Tayside and other affected areas.

This framework provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, ecological management, and wildlife preservation services. Companies involved in land management, ecological surveys, or with expertise in beaver-related issues are well-positioned to compete for this contract. Given the emphasis on quality and price in the evaluation criteria, firms demonstrating a strong track record of relevant experience and innovative management interventions will likely excel in this procurement opportunity.
