Drumnafallow Bog was badly covered with rhododendron in 2017 in a number of areas. Control and removal was actioned through the CANN project in 2019, 20, and 21 with high success. However, there are still some areas of the site where rhododendron has continued to re-grow. These are mostly young shoots and small plants. If not controlled now they will however continue to grow and eventually recover to their full extent. Peatlands Park SAC is badly impacted by rhododendron in many areas. As with Drumnafallow there was significant control carried out in 2019, 20 and 21 on numerous areas. There is again regrowth which has come back which requires control but here there are also areas of more mature rhododendron which require initial control to try and expand the area that isn't impacted by this invasive species. The ground conditions on both of these sites are both sensitive and high risk. Bogs by their nature are very wet and due to constraints around nesting birds' works must be carried out between Sep and March which are the wettest months. These types of site require very specialist vehicles and equipment to operate on as well as experienced operators. Please see ITT documents for full details and instructions for submitting a tender. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Control of invasive rhododendron at Peatlands Park and Drumnafallow Bog (Fairy Water Bogs SAC) across the areas specified in the ITT documents and using the best practice methodologies outlined in those same documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025214-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 21 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £35,416 | | Lots value | £35,416 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ULSTER WILDLIFE TRUST | | Locality | BELFAST | | Post town | Northern Ireland | | Postcode | BT3 9LE | | Country | Northern Ireland | | ITL 1 | TLN Northern Ireland | | ITL 2 | TLN0 Northern Ireland | | ITL 3 | TLN06 Belfast | | Local authority | Belfast | | Electoral ward | Sydenham | | Westminster constituency | Belfast East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 77100000 - Agricultural services - 77200000 - Forestry services ## Release History - 8 Sep 2022 at 10:40 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/025214-2022 - 2 Sep 2022 at 07:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024559-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.ulsterwildlife.org - https://e-sourcingni.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
