## Summary

See notice for full details.

## Notice

Control of foxes across 7,500 Ha of the Antrim Hills (Glenwherry and Glencloy) on private land for the benefit of Curlew and other ground nesting birds.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Working with landowners, farmers and local communities, this contract will deliver concrete action to halt the decline of Curlew in one of their last remaining hotspots in Northern Ireland. It will build on progress and lessons learnt through the RSPB's Curlew LIFE project which recorded exceptional productivity across the Glenwherry site and a 40% increase in breeding pairs in 2024. As predation is a main driver of low Curlew breeding success, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) wants to commission the services of an appropriately qualified and experienced contractor to undertake the lethal control of foxes in the Glenwherry and Glencloy areas of the Antrim Hills. This activity is to take place over a period of approximately 19 weeks between 17th November 2025 and 31st March 2026, and will complement work to improve habitat quality within the area. Please note this tender does not cover any form of corvid control. Site maps will only be provided to the successful supplier. The proposed site is approximately 7,500 hectares in size and is under private ownership.
