## Summary

The RSPB Scotland is managing the procurement process for the "Orkney Native Wildlife Project - Evaluation," aimed at a significant environmental initiative to eradicate non-native stoats from Orkney Islands.

## Notice

The RSPB, in partnership with Scottish Natural Heritage and the Orkney Islands Council, is about to embark on what will be the world's largest stoat eradication. The Orkney Native Wildlife Project ('ONWP' hereafter), plans to remove the invasive non-native stoat from Orkney Mainland and the linked isles of Lamb Holm, Glimps Holm, Hunda, Burray and South Ronaldsay through a trapping operation. The project will commence on February 1st, 2019 and will last for a duration of five years. We are looking for an external evaluator that will analyse and evaluate all aspects of the project, including training, use of volunteers, public engagement and public opinion. This will be done through data analysis, conducting interviews and focus groups, and compiling opinion surveys. The evaluator will also be expected to deliver mid-term and end-of-project reports which will evaluate all aspects of the project.
