## Summary

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has initiated a tender process for the supply of 2 solar water pumps for Moverons Farm located in Essex. The project aims to improve habitats for ground nesting waders like lapwing and redshank by creating ideal wet conditions, reducing reliance on Diesel pumps, and enhancing climate resilience. The tender, classified under the CPV codes for Solar installation and Pumps and compressors, is open for procurement with a tender deadline on 18th March 2024, and a contract period running from 1st August 2024 to 30th November 2024.

This tender by RSPB presents an opportunity for businesses involved in solar power, water pump supply, and environmental services to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are suitable bidders. The project location is at Moverons Farm, Essex, offering a chance for businesses to contribute to environmental conservation efforts while providing sustainable solutions. Businesses interested in service contracts related to wetland wildlife conservation and green technology installations would find this tender well-suited for business growth.

## Notice

The RSPB has secured funding from the Natural England Species Recovery Project to carry out works to improve the habitats found at Moverons Farm. Moverons Farm is a privately owned mixed arable and grassland farm, adjacent to the Colne Estuary, in Essex. Recently the farm has, funded by agri-environment schemes, reverted several fields from arable to grassland, this means there is an opportunity to create habitat for locally important ground nesting waders including lapwing and redshank. Lapwing and redshank depend on an interface of wet and terrestrial habitat, with higher water levels in the winter and spring drawing down through the spring months to expose wet mud that their chicks feed on. We propose to install 2 x solar water pumps to enable these ideal conditions to be created, even in drier years. These are funded by the Natural England species recovery project fund. This project will help achieve suitable wet conditions to benefit breeding wading birds such as lapwing and redshank, and other wetland wildlife, reduce dependence on Diesel pumps to move water around and increase climate resilience. This tender is for the supply of the Solar powered water pumps, there is a separate tender for the associated earthworks required to install the solar pumps.
