## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal for the contract titled "Pevensey Floating Pennywort Control - continuation of contract for removal." The procurement falls under the category of marine research services and takes place in the United Kingdom. This limited procurement method involves an award without prior publication of a contract notice. The tender was completed with a total contract value of £25,000, covering the period from 30 January 2017 to 31 March 2017. The tender period ended on 30 December 2016.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses focused on environmental services, particularly those involved in invasive species management and flood prevention.

## Notice

Floating Pennywort is an aggressive aquatic alien weed which has infested Pevensey Levels SSSI, SAC and Ramsar site. The weeds presents a significant flood risk and endangers the protected site. Effective control of the weed involved mechanical removal and chemical control. Control of the weed has been ongoing on Pevensey Levels for 4 years and is showing good results. This additional funding would allow ALL floating Pennywort outside of main rivers and Water Management Board ditches to be treated. (Environment Agency fund a programme to manage control on main rivers and Water Management Board ditches).
