## Summary

The public procurement contracting process is underway with RSPB Scotland inviting tenders for the project titled "RSPB Lochwinnoch: Crassula eradication 2022," focusing on infilling a pond to eliminate the invasive plant Crassula helmsii. This opportunity falls under the environmental protection category and is open for works procurement method. The project is located at RSPB Lochwinnoch in Edinburgh, UK, with a tender period ending on January 10, 2023, and bid opening on the same date.

This tender by RSPB Scotland presents a business opportunity for companies specializing in environmental conservation and works projects. Suitable businesses should have expertise in invasive species eradication and conservation work. The project's timeline requires completion by mid-March 2023, offering a time-sensitive opportunity for interested firms to contribute to environmental preservation efforts in Scotland.

## Notice

Tenders are invited for infilling a pond containing the plant Crassula helmsii, to permanently bury the plant without causing spread to other parts of the RSPB reserve and SSSI. Crassula helmsii is an invasive non-native species (INNS) and in Scotland it is an offence to plant or cause it to grow in a wild location outside its native range. New colonies of the plant can start from small sections of stem or leaves, so procedures will be required to eliminate the spread of even small fragments via transfer on machinery, personnel, in water or via any other route.
