## Summary

The North Wales Wildlife Trust is conducting a tender for a feasibility study titled "Feasibility study for control of invasive non-native species in Wales". This procurement falls under the services category and is aimed at organisations capable of developing innovative control methods for invasive species prioritised in Wales. The tender process is currently in the award stage, with the contract signed on 1 April 2022. The initial tender period concluded on 7 March 2022, and the project is being carried out in Bangor, LL57 2RT, which serves as the operational base for the buying organisation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises based in Wales, particularly those involved in environmental consulting, ecological research, or volunteer organisation management. Businesses that can demonstrate expertise in conducting feasibility studies related to ecology, have knowledge of invasive species, and are willing to engage local communities through innovative approaches are well-suited to compete for this project. The successful bidder will collaborate closely with the WaREN team to produce a comprehensive report, which may also lead to further opportunities in similar ecological studies or community-driven projects in the future.

## Notice

North Wales Wildlife Trust wishes to appoint an organisation (or organisations) to conduct a feasibility study on innovative approaches to control of invasive species. The study should focus on one or more of the Priority Invasive Species for Action in Wales (see Additional Document for list).Preference will be given to proposals which address one or more of the following:- A strong emphasis on engaging with volunteers, such as members of Local Action Groups, tackling invasive species- Bringing added value to local communities (e.g. by connecting people with wildlife)- An approach which has not yet been trialled or has limited adoption in WalesWe hope to have feasibility studies at different spatial scales, e.g. a place-based (i.e. local focus) or landscape-scale approach, which can be applied across Wales in future. It is hoped that the approach could be used upon completion of the feasibility study (although not as part of WaREN) and so issues such as affordability and/or intellectual property should be carefully considered before submitting a proposal.We invite applications from enterprises in Wales, with a priority for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (as defined by Welsh Government) or volunteer organisations. We also welcome joint proposals which show public-private partnership or applications for student projects where there is agreement and support from an academic supervisor.The successful organisation will need to deliver a feasibility study (with input from the WaREN team) meeting the above requirements. It should include the following:- Study plan with aims and objectives (agreed by WaREN Project Manager by March 31st 2022). This should include an Ethics Statement and/or GDPR Statement if applicable- Comprehensive Risk Assessment including biosecurity considerations- Collection of required data through agreed methods- Analysis of data (with the potential involvement of study participants)The successful organisation will then be required to write the results of the feasibility study as a report with a final draft to be agreed with the WaREN Project Manager by December 2022. This should include a clear statement of feasibility (including issues such as affordability) and a 'way forward'.
