## Summary

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, located at the Seacole Building in London, is overseeing a procurement process titled "MRF - Accelerating Delivery of Predator Eradication on the Isles of Scilly." This initiative falls under the agricultural and environmental services category and is geographically specific to the Isles of Scilly. The procurement is in the award stage and involves a direct contract award due to exclusive technical rights and location-specific requirements, with the contract period scheduled from 1st September 2025 to 31st March 2027. The upcoming milestone is a scheduled signature date on 15th August 2025.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services to grow by participating in a high-value project funded through the Marine Recovery Fund. Given the project’s specificity and technical delivery requirements, it is best suited for entities capable of engaging in strategic environmental operations and those who can collaborate effectively with local landowners and managers, such as the Duchy of Cornwall and RSWT. Although the direct award approach limits the competition, businesses that align with such niche requirements and can demonstrate exclusive technical or intellectual capabilities may find similar opportunities in related initiatives.

## Notice

Progressing the operational plan for rat eradication on Isles of Scilly as a strategic compensatory measure funded through the Marine Recovery Fund. The plan will include planning, research and community engagement which is necessary to progress the delivery of predator reduction programme.

### Procurement Information

This requirement is location specific, and a third party could not deliver the measure without the Duchy of Cornwall (Landowner) and RSWT (Land Manager) agreement, Defra do not consider it appropriate to tender for this project. The only route to market option is a direct contract award by single tender action to RSWT.
