This procurement falls under the environmental services category and has a total budget of £73,000. The tender period is open until 19th February 2018, with the contract set to commence on 1st March 2018 and run through to 30th September 2019. The relevant delivery locations are within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on environmental services and pest-control, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that are looking to expand their services in urban wildlife management. Companies with experience in gull control strategies and environmental management are well-placed to compete for this contract, paving the way for further projects in partnership with public agencies and local communities. ## Notice The coastal towns of Whitby, Scarborough and Filey have experienced problems with urban gulls for a number of years. The presence of seagulls in the borough is to be expected, given its close proximity to the North Sea coastline. The two main species of gulls present locally are the herring gulls and kittiwakes and the main public health and safety issues experienced take place during the breeding season for these species (approximately at the start of March, finishing at the beginning of September each year). The major influx of visitors during spring and summer holiday seasons provide a significant food source for herring gulls This issue has been high on the agenda for the Council for some time, and some mitigating action has already been achieved. But, with only limited statutory duty to act and the presence of diminishing budgets there is a need for a partnership approach involving local people, building or business owners, tourist and public agencies, neighbouring councils and central government. This Tender is to cover the herring gulls breeding seasons of 2018 and 2019 (March to September) the budget for which has been confirmed following the Council's Cabinet meeting on 12 December 2017. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3bc17222-34f3-48bb-a508-86281fcece55 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Jan 2018 | | Submission deadline | 19 Feb 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2018 - 30 Sep 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £73,000 | | 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 | SCARBOROUGH BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | SCARBOROUGH | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO11 2HG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Scarborough and Whitby | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90700000 - Environmental services - 90922000 - Pest-control services ## Release History - 17 Jan 2018 at 15:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3bc17222-34f3-48bb-a508-86281fcece55 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3bc17222-34f3-48bb-a508-86281fcece55 17th January 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.scarborough.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
