## Summary

The procurement process involves the Defra Network eTendering Portal, which is seeking submissions for the "Hen Harrier Questionnaire" project, classified under data management services. This process is currently at the awarded stage and had its tender period conclude on 3rd February 2017. The awarded contract, valued at £22,714, will take place between 13th February and 31st March 2017, with delivery expected across various locations, including the United Kingdom and Europe. The procurement method used was a limited one, allowing for the award of the contract without prior publication of a contract notice.

This opportunity promotes business growth for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in data management or market research services. Companies with experience in brood management, wildlife conservation studies, or those offering innovative solutions in the environmental sector would be particularly well-suited to engage in this tendering process. By participating, businesses can further develop their expertise and contribute to vital ecological initiatives while potentially securing long-term contracts with government bodies.

## Notice

The Defra Hen Harrier Recovery plans contains six Actions. One of these is to trial a brood management scheme (BMS). In this proposal if Hen Harrier nest densities go above a pre agreed density excess broods would be reared in captivity to avoid the period of highest predation on grouse. These birds would then be released at fledging and allowed to re-join the wild population. The perceived advantage of brood management is that it may give grouse managers the confidence to co-exist with breeding hen harriers, in the understanding that harriers will be removed before they reach densities at which they become too damaging for driven grouse shooting. However as yet we do not have evidence that this is the case. A study is required to help further our understanding of this and which will, combined with the results of the Brood management trial, further our understanding of the ways in which grouse moor managers and other stakeholders respond to different management techniques available to them Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions.
