## Summary

The Isles of Scilly Seabird Recovery Project, led by the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust and managed by Craig Pullen Consulting, has reached the award stage. This project focuses on the creation of an Operational Plan for rat eradication from Bryher, Tresco, St. Martin's, and surrounding uninhabited islands to facilitate the recolonisation of seabirds. The contract has been awarded to Wildlife Management International Ltd with a budget of £20,000 for services related to natural resources management or conservation strategy planning. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure with key deadlines including a tender period ending on 16th December 2024 and the contract execution from 1st January 2025 to 31st March 2025 in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender opens significant business growth opportunities, especially for SMEs and voluntary organisations experienced in environmental conservation and wildlife management. The requirement for a detailed logistic plan covering labour, time, boating, and accommodation, as well as cost estimation, suggests that businesses with robust project management capabilities and experience in ecological projects will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this contract offers businesses the potential to contribute to crucial conservation work, enhancing their portfolio and reputation in the natural resource management sector.

## Notice

The Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, as lead partner in the Isles of Scilly Seabird Recovery Project (SRP), is developing a programme of work to clear rats from Bryher, Tresco, St Martin's and the surrounding uninhabited islands. Following on from successful rat eradication of St Agnes and Gugh in 2013, the SRP will enable all of the off-isles of the Isles of Scilly to be cleared of rats, to enable recolonisation and population growth by seabirds, particularly Manx shearwaters and storm petrels. An experienced contractor is required to write an Operational Plan to record in detail the logistic steps that would be required for the eradication by a principal contractor, including estimates of labour, time, boating and accommodation requirements, and an appropriate resulting estimate of the cost of a full eradication. This work is to be undertaken between January - March 2025 Additional information: Please contact Craig Pullen (craig@cpconsulting.org.uk) for the tender pack.
