## Summary

The procurement process titled "RSPB MOA 2016-17" is being conducted by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, focusing on services related to environmental conservation, specifically within the poultry industry. The award stage is active, and the winning supplier, RSPB, was announced on 22nd September 2016. The contract period spans from 20th September 2016 to 31st March 2018, with a total value of £434,700. This engagement aims to address projects linked to priority birds in England, as outlined in the Biodiversity 2020 initiative, requiring actions for multiple ongoing research and recovery projects.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in environmental research services, wildlife preservation, and related sectors to expand their portfolios. Companies that specialise in biodiversity projects, ecological consulting, or land management are particularly well suited to compete, especially those that have registered on the Bravo e-tendering platform used by Defra. This public contract not only fosters collaboration on high-priority species recovery but also provides a pathway for smaller and voluntary community sector enterprises to engage in significant environmental initiatives.

## Notice

AfBiE acts as an umbrella for joint projects between Natural England and the RSPB relating to work on priority birds. The Addendum in 2017/18 will consist of 12 ongoing projects funded by NE's Species Recovery Programme (SRP). Natural England's contributions are made against delivery of specific outputs and outcomes as set out in a delivery schedule appended to the Addendum. The main driver for the work programme is the need to take action for birds listed on 'Section 41' (ie those birds which are considered by government to be 'of principal importance for the conservation of biodiversity in England' following the NERC Act 2006), and ultimately to contribute to the delivery of 'Outcome 3' of Biodiversity 2020, which seeks 'an overall improvement in the status of wildlife in England and prevention of further human induced extinctions of known threatened species by 2020'. More specifically, Priority action 1.3 of Bio2020 states the need to 'Take targeted action for the recovery of priority species, whose conservation is not delivered through wider habitat-based and ecosystem measures'. The projects undertake research action underpinning the population recovery of the species concerned which have been identified as 'urgent/high priority' by the Bio2020 Birds Taxon Group and approved by the Terrestrial Biodiversity Group (TBG). They include research to understand the causes of decline, identify factors limiting populations and trialing interventions that address them, including trial reintroduction and land management measures that, if successful, could be 'rolled-out' in environmental schemes such as Countryside Stewardship.
