In plain English
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council wants a contractor to clear invasive birch scrub from about 20 hectares of protected peatland at Selshion, an Area of Special Scientific Interest (a legally protected wildlife site). The work is funded through PEAT+, a cross-border project to restore peatlands, and the estimated value is £200,000.
What the buyer wants
• Eradicate and contain the birch scrub across the approximately 20 hectare control area within Selshion ASSI. • Carry out all operations between November and 26 February only, to avoid the bird breeding season and protect the winter dormancy period. • Work without ground disturbance, peat compaction, hydrological disruption or chemical contamination, protecting the Sphagnum, fen and cutover peatland features.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice requires contractors to be suitably experienced, environmentally conscious and qualified, and it strictly prohibits ground disturbance, peat compaction, hydrological disruption and chemical contamination, so a business without experience of working on sensitive protected sites, or without low-impact methods suited to peatland, would most likely be ruled out; the notice does not specify any particular qualifications, turnover or insurance thresholds.
Always check the tender documents.
