The project aims to evaluate the impact on seabird populations in Wales. The award was signed on 12th December 2023. This tender, currently in the award stage, presents business growth opportunities in the services category for businesses involved in research and development services and related consultancy services. The procurement method is open, with a tender period ending on 11th December 2023 and an award period ending on 18th December 2023. Businesses interested in marine conservation and seabird population management would find this tender relevant for their operations. ## Notice Seabirds face multiple human-generated pressures, from climate change, overfishing, marine development, entanglement in fishing gear to invasive non-native predators introduced on islands. Seabirds are long lived, slow to reach breeding age and adults rear relatively few chicks each year. This means that when adults die in large numbers the populations cannot breed fast enough to make up for the losses and species go into steep declines. Emerging threats can have severe consequences for seabird populations, such as the current outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza which has already killed thousands of breeding adults in affected colonies around the UK. Increased marine development in Welsh waters, coupled with further climatic changes, are likely to put even more pressure on seabirds in the near future.Through the Biosecurity for LIFE project (which ended in 2023), island managers, residents and volunteers in Wales have engaged in implementing biosecurity surveillance checks and measures across five seabird island SPAs (Bardsey, Grassholm, Puffin, Skomer & Skokholm and Anglesey Terns). The Biosecurity for Wales project is expanding this work to additional islands, and working to develop the long-term biosecurity partnership that will enable the active participation of all key stakeholders to deliver against site management objectives of designated seabird breeding islands across Wales and to ensure their conservation objectives can be met. Our outcomes include well-supported and connected stakeholders actively engaged in biosecurity implementation, and increased awareness of the threat mammalian predators pose to seabirds.https://www.rspb.org.uk/https://biosecurityforlife.org.uk/The purpose of these survey (one winter 2023-24, one spring 2025) is to evaluate the project's impact on our key outcomes mentioned above. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=136641 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | 11 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Dec 2023 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RSPB | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF11 9AB | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ED DREWITT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Jun 2024 at 11:11 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=136641 - 21 Nov 2023 at 09:34 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=136641 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=NOV458000&idx=1 21st November 2023 - Invitation to Quote ## Notice URLs - http://www.eddrewitt.co.uk - https://www.rspb.org.uk/https://biosecurityforlife.org.uk/The - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Default.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
