## Summary

Sefton Council has initiated and completed a procurement process for a substantial Habitat Improvement Programme within the Sefton Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The awarded tender, classified under Environmental Improvement Works (CPV ID: 45262640), is set to run from 20 September 2024 to 31 August 2025, with potential extensions of up to two additional years. The procurement was conducted using a restricted procedure method and involved sensitive environmental management, constrained to winter months due to ecological considerations. The contract, valued at £71,400, was awarded to Ian Rylands Ltd following a tender period that concluded on 16 August 2024.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental and habitat management services, particularly those with expertise in working within legally protected and ecologically sensitive sites. Large-scale firms with experience in executing selective procurement projects under restricted procedures are well-suited to compete for such contracts in the future. Additionally, the programme aligns perfectly with companies aiming to enhance their portfolio in high-value conservation projects and work closely with local authorities such as Sefton Council.

## Notice

Sefton Council owns and manages a number of sites on the Sefton Coast, most of which fall within the Sefton Coast Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The Council must manage these sites sensitively and for the benefit of their high nature conservation value. The SSSI contains habitats and species that are internationally important and are protected by law. The Sefton Coast is also a RAMSAR site, which means it is an internationally recognised as an important wetland area. All works will be confined to the winter between the months of October and March with precise cut off dates agreed through the Council's Project Manager. No contracted works will take place for this project during April to September
