This project falls within the environmental services industry and is aimed at improving understanding of kittiwake demographic rates in Scotland. The tender process is currently open, using an open procedure method, with a total value of £60,000. The submission period ends on 30th September 2020, while the contract is expected to start on 5th October 2020 and run until 31st January 2021. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in environmental research or consultancy, particularly those with expertise in ecological studies or wildlife management. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, as the project seeks to engage innovative solutions to enhance data collection and modelling efforts related to marine wildlife affected by offshore wind farms. Interested parties should carefully review the related documents and submit their tenders as instructed to take advantage of this opportunity. ## Notice Background to Project This project is funded by Vattenfall and directly emerges from the work undertaken through the Offshore Wind Strategic Monitoring and Research Forum (OWSMRF) Pilot Year. Through OWSMRF, a list of research opportunities addressing key knowledge gaps in the context of marine birds and OWFs were identified. Uncertainty in kittiwake demographic rates was perceived as limiting our understanding of their meta-population dynamics and, hence, the level of resilience of their populations to additional mortality. One of the research opportunities identified through OWSMRF was a feasibility study of large-scale colour-ringing of kittiwake populations in the UK to improve empirical estimates of key demographic rates and therefore help build confidence in predictions of how their populations will respond to offshore windfarm effects. The aim of this project is to establish the amount of mark-recapture effort required to obtain reliable estimates of key demographic rates in Black-legged kittiwake populations in order to inform a realistic and feasible colour-ringing deployment plan in the UK that, if implemented, will deliver key evidence to help provide more realism in modelling population impacts of windfarm-induced mortality.
