This tender is currently in the planning stage and will conclude on 13th October 2021. The successful contractor will provide wildlife control measures at various aerodromes, including RAF Coningsby and RAF Waddington, to mitigate the risks posed by hazardous wildlife to air safety. The contract duration is set from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2027, with a total estimated value of £4,019,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental and wildlife management services. Companies with experience in hazard mitigation and partnerships with local stakeholders will likely excel in this process. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, particularly those with proven capabilities in implementing effective wildlife control systems as per rigorous aviation safety regulations. Participation in this contract could bolster an organisation's reputation, foster growth, and open pathways for future contracts within the defence sector. ## Notice The Contractor shall provide an effective and efficient wildlife control system in accordance with the regulation and guidance given in the Military Aviation Authority (MAA) Regulatory Article (RA) 3270 and the RA 3500 series. The specified references shall be deemed to imply the current editions as from time to time amended. The aim is to reduce the presence of hazardous birds and other wildlife in and around the vicinity of the aerodromes at RAF Coningsby, RAFC Cranwell, RAF Marham, RAF Scampton, RAF Waddington, RAF Wittering, RAF Barkston Heath, RAF Leeming and RAF Topcliffe by means of observation, recording, reporting and survey, assessing the local wildlife population, wildlife behaviour and the effect on aircraft flying at or near that aerodrome, and taking appropriate action to reduce the hazard. Where wildlife control activity is necessary outside the boundaries of the aerodrome, the Contractor shall liaise directly with occupiers of land in the vicinity and Airfield Wildlife Control Units (AWCU) at neighbouring aerodromes (i.e. within the 13km safeguarding zone) with a view to reducing the air safety risk posed by that site. It is the Authority's intention to down select to maximum of 7 highest scoring suppliers who will be invited to tender providing they meet the overall score of a pass within the PQQ. If a supplier receives a fail to any question within the PQQ, they will automatically fail the evaluation and not be invited to participate further. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3265dd63-edb6-4c84-8033-00c2321ca226 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 13 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,019,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MINISTRY OF DEFENCE | | Locality | HIGH WYCOMBE | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP14 4UE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Ridgeway West | | Westminster constituency | Mid Buckinghamshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services - 90721800 - Natural risks or hazards protection services ## Release History - 14 Sep 2021 at 09:22 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3265dd63-edb6-4c84-8033-00c2321ca226 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3265dd63-edb6-4c84-8033-00c2321ca226 14th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
