In plain English
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council wants a contractor to remove the invasive shrub Rhododendron ponticum from a 50-hectare area of Peatlands Park, a protected nature site in County Armagh. The work is funded by the PEAT+ peatland restoration project and is meant to help protected wildlife such as golden plover and the large heath butterfly recover.
What the buyer wants
• Control and eradicate all Rhododendron ponticum within the designated 50ha control area at Peatlands Park SAC, Co Armagh. • Demonstrate that you are suitably experienced, qualified and environmentally conscious enough to carry out this work. • Support the wider PEAT+ aim of restoring peatland habitat and recovering threatened species linked to it.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice gives no specific pass or fail criteria, but it requires suitable experience, qualifications and an environmentally conscious approach on a protected site, so a small business without a clear track record in invasive species control on protected land is the most likely to be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
