The procurement falls under the industry category of environmental protection. The tender is at the award stage and was successfully completed on January 11, 2023. The contract involves the construction of deer exclosures in RSPB Inversnaid, Loch Lomond. Key deadlines included the contract award on January 11, 2023. This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses, especially those with experience in environmental protection services, to bid for the construction of deer exclosures in a challenging upland site. The contract, awarded to DFFC LTD, values at £49,000 GBP and aims to improve the condition of the designated woodland. Companies with expertise in constructing fencing in remote and challenging terrains are well-suited for this opportunity. The procurement process was open and followed an open procedure to encourage fair competition. ## Notice The area covered in this tender forms part of RSPB Inversnaid. It is also within an area of designated woodland (Pollochro Woods SSSI) that is in poor condition due to over browsing by deer and goats. Permission is in place from NatureScot to carry out the work. It has been confirmed that no planning consent is required. The successful contractor will construct two deer exclosures on the western side of the reserve. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Each exclosure will require just over 1km of deer fencing. The deer fence must be higher than 1.8m but cannot be over 2m. The fence line is expected to follow the general route as indicated in the maps below, but small deviations to allow for ground conditions and siting will be acceptable subject to agreement. At least one access gate per exclosure should be included in the tender. A cost should be given for the option of marking the fence for black grouse. Final route and gate location will be decided by a site visit alongside the RSPB site warden prior to work commencing. Inversnaid is a challenging site to work at and the location is remote, especially so in the case of the north exclosure. The location is difficult, and the ground is uneven and steep in places. It is expected the contractor will have experience of working in upland sites. A site visit is strongly recommended before tendering. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468297 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 16 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 28 Feb 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £49,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RSPB | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Not specified | | Postcode | N/A | | Country | Not specified | | ITL 1 | Not specified | | ITL 2 | Not specified | | ITL 3 | Not specified | | Local authority | Not specified | | Electoral ward | Not specified | | Westminster constituency | Not specified | | Delivery location | TLM81 East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, and Helensburgh and Lomond | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DFFC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ## Release History - 11 Jan 2023 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468297 - 25 Jan 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN438660 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JAN438660&idx=1 25th January 2022 - Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN438660 Inversnaid - Deer Fencing - The area covered in this tender forms part of RSPB Inversnaid.
