Cors Fochno and the Dyfi Estuary, made up of 2,508 ha is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve; National Nature Reserve, Ramsar Site, EU Natura 2000 and SSSI with RSPB's Ynys-hir reserve a designated SPA and SAC. It is made up of a bar-built estuarine complex, comprising the Dyfi estuary, two calcareous dune systems, and a large, raised mire. The Dyfi is one of the best examples in north-west Europe of a small, drying, nutrient-poor estuary, which has been relatively unaffected by industrial development. A wide range of estuarine habitats are present, including rare transitions to peatland. Cors Fochno is of international importance being the type locality for estuarine raised mire and one of the largest active raised mires in the United Kingdom. The geomorphology, flora and invertebrate faunas are of national importance. RSPB Ynys-hir supports one of two regular wintering flocks of Greenland White-fronted Geese in England and Wales and is a key site in Wales for breeding waders. The area, including RSPB Ynys-hir, supports significant tourist trade and recreational usage, as well as housing the main train line from Machynlleth to Aberystwyth, run by Network Rail.The Dyfi Estuary is under major threat from climate driven sea-level rise, tidal surges and changes in rainfall, with embankments failing, breaches increasingly frequent and challenges for statutory bodies to invest in future flood defences, as well as socio-economic and cultural challenges such as ageing populations, reliance on seasonal income, multiple deprivation and stakeholder conflict. Well-planned and informed sustainable management of the area is needed to manage flood risk proactively and adapt for climate change.(WA Ref:143218)The buyer considers that this contract is suitable for consortia bidding. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=143218 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender 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 | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jul 2024 | | Submission deadline | 9 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TIR CANOL | | 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 | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 03000000 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 22 Jul 2024 at 15:55 - Tender - S2W Notice - Website Invitation to Tender Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=143218 ## Documents - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Notice/Download/DocumentDownload.aspx?id=JUL485269&idx=1 22nd July 2024 - Digital Handbook for Changing Tides: A community guide to a resilient coast ## Notice URLs - https://tircanol.cymru/ - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=143218 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
