Description
RSPB Cymru is looking to appoint one or more Contractors to undertake lethal fox control for the benefit of ground-nesting birds on the Lake Vyrnwy estate in accordance with the requirements outlined in this document. The tenders should fulfil the requirements of the brief outlined in this document.Predation pressure on nests and young is an important suppressor of population recovery in many of Vyrnwy’s ground-nesting birds including curlew, black grouse, hen harrier and merlin. Targeted control of predator numbers immediately prior to the breeding season has been shown to improve the productivity and recovery of priority species populations, particularly when coupled with habitat improvements.Although non-lethal measures (such as predator fences around nest sites) are employed wherever possible, the scale of the landscape and remoteness of habitats limits the effectiveness of these measures. This contract therefore proposes to undertake lethal predator control targeting foxes across at least 5,000 hectares between Mid-November and Mid-March for each year of the project.Both the area and period for control are indicative and we invite specific recommendations from tenderers on variations to these proposals.Predator control will be undertaken humanely and strictly according to RSPB codes of practice, General License requirements in Wales and any other relevant legislation.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=144679.
