This procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 13 October 2021. The overall value of the contract is estimated at £3,337,000, and the contract period is set to commence on 1 March 2022 and conclude on 28 February 2027, emphasising a long-term engagement with prospective suppliers. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental services, particularly those specialising in wildlife management and hazard control. Companies that demonstrate expertise in wildlife behaviour analysis, risk assessment, and compliance with aviation safety regulations will be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as the buyer intends to shortlist a maximum of seven suppliers based on their performance against the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) criteria. ## 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 wildlife in and around the vicinity of the aerodromes at RAF Benson, RAF Brize Norton, RAF Northolt and RAF Odiham 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 select a maximum of 7 of the 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/f10beaa3-87d7-4e4a-8530-2bfb110e4733 | | 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 | 1 Mar 2022 - 28 Feb 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,337,000 | | 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 09:20 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f10beaa3-87d7-4e4a-8530-2bfb110e4733 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f10beaa3-87d7-4e4a-8530-2bfb110e4733 14th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1f70b2c1-ad7e-4317-995b-8d0d8d6598cd n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f5008415-3ebb-42ff-bb81-a12b9db806a6 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/11e565f3-8d56-4337-90e2-d1217aa956ac n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
