Potential suppliers must utilise the CP&F electronic procurement tool for submissions, and interested parties are encouraged to visit the Defence Sourcing Portal for further details and to complete a Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire. This contract presents a prime opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in wildlife management and safety protocols near aerodromes. Businesses adept at electronic trading and capable of complying with the Ministry of Defence's stringent selection criteria would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Companies that can demonstrate effective wildlife monitoring and control methodologies, while engaging with local landowners and other stakeholders, may find significant growth prospects through this procurement process. ## 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 other wildlife in and around the vicinity of the aerodromes at RAF Coningsby, RAFC Cranwell, RAF Marham, RAF Scampton, RAF Waddington, RAF Wittering, RAF Barkston Heath, RAF Leeming and RAF Topcliffe 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. ### Lot Information Lot 1 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.
