## Summary

The procurement process led by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has successfully concluded the NIEA Eastern Mournes Wildfire Recovery Project. The project, situated in the UK region of Belfast, focuses on developing detailed wildfire management plans for the Eastern and Western Mournes, among other locations. Initiated as a tender with the legal basis under the UKPGA 2023/54, the process utilised an open procurement method. Key information includes the tender's completion status, the contract's active status from 17 January 2026 to 15 January 2029, and potential renewal options for an additional year. The undertaking was valued at £605,000, comprising services within forestry, horticultural, and environmental domains.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those focused on wildfire management, environmental impact assessments, and risk assessment services. Companies with expertise in these areas can leverage the comprehensive wildfire recovery project to demonstrate their capability in providing innovative solutions for environmental safety and restoration. The open procedure encourages participation from SMEs, as evidenced by the selection of the supplier, Fundacio Pau Costa, an SME based in Spain. Engaging in such projects can aid businesses in expanding their portfolios and enhancing their credibility through collaboration with public sector initiatives.
