## Summary

The procurement process involves Sheffield City Council, which is overseeing a contract titled "Reintroduction of Beavers (Burbage Valley)". This initiative falls under the industry category of botanical and zoological garden services and nature reserve services, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a unique opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental management, wildlife preservation, and ecological consulting.

The involvement of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) is encouraged, making this an ideal opportunity for those looking to expand their services in biodiversity and ecosystem management.

## Notice

Sheffield City Council and partner organisations are keen to understand the potential benefits, particularly with respect to natural flood management, which could be gained from the reintroduction of Castor Fiber. We also understand the wide range of additional benefits that will accrue from reintroduction of beavers. Sheffield City Council are looking for a proposal that provides details on how a feasibility study could assess the potential of surface waters to act as Beaver release sites. We are also keen to understand how existing habitat structure can be mapped to understand necessary trajectories of habitat improvement in support of beaver release. We would like detail on how practical concerns related to the creation of fenced enclosures, the sourcing, handling, health and welfare of beavers might be considered and any costs that might be incurred under different scenarios of beaver release or creation of suitable habitat. The proposal must also detail how information might be brought together in support of a licence application to Natural England to release Beavers into the suggested landscape(s).
