## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal, involves a tender titled "AESME Lot 5: Re-survey of AES woodland creation for woodland birds." This project falls under the environmental services industry category and is based in Peterborough, England. The procurement method used is a selective procedure, and the tender period ended on 2nd October 2018. The contracted service, awarded to the British Trust for Ornithology, began on 29th October 2018 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2020, with a total contract value of £71,611.75.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental services, particularly those with expertise in ecological surveys and biodiversity studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate in similar contracts, as this project aims to enhance woodland habitats and inform future woodland creation activities. Such contracts not only support biodiversity but also align with climate change mitigation efforts, making them attractive for organisations committed to environmental sustainability.

## Notice

A bird survey of 65 new farm woodlands established under the Farm Woodland Scheme (FWS) and the Farm Woodland Premium Scheme (FWPS) was carried out in 1999. These sites will now have matured to become patches of good scrub and young woodland habitat, and the 1999 survey provides an excellent baseline from which to investigate whether bird populations have changed through colonization of these new habitats. The project aims to re-survey these sites in 2019 to inform about the effects of woodland creation on birds over a 20-year period and how these effects relate to landscape characteristics, thus providing an evidence base to inform future woodland creation activities for increasing biodiversity and contributing to climate change mitigation.
