Continuous Water Quality Monitoring (CWQM)

This notice is seeking expressions of interest for the establishment of a Contract for Continuous Water Quality Monitoring (CWQM) related to: • Site Planning & Investigation; • Hardware & Data Transmission; • Installation, Maintenance & Calibration; and • Data Visualisation & Analysis. This Contract Agreement is envisaged to be the primary route for selecting supplier(s) for the delivery of the CWQM hardware and services for the duration of the Agreement. Any estimated quantities or values contained or referred to in this or other documentation are for guidance only and do not bind YWS to buy any specific quantities should the bidder be successful and enter into an Agreement. Yorkshire Water has a statutory obligation to deliver continuous water quality monitoring up and downstream of all discharges for parameters as outlined in the Interim Technical Standard of Section 82 of the Environmental Act 2021. Interested bidders will have the opportunity to express interest to this tender and Yorkshire Water will reserve the right to either award everything to the lead supplier under a "Data as a Service" managed service model (Lot 1), or Asset Ownership model (Lot 2). Lots 1 and 2 have the same service scope and requirements but under different commercial models. Interested bidders can provide submission(s) for Lots 1 and / or 2. Bidders need to deliver all the required services of the Lots they intend to submit a response. Lots will be awarded at Yorkshire Water's discretion. Procurement Process: To express an interest in participating in the tender, please contact David Archer ([email protected]) through email by 17:00 (GMT) on 9th October 2024. Once a bidder expresses an interest, a Selection Question (SQ) document pack will be shared with them at a later date. This will include the SQ document that must be completed by all bidders and submitted in line with the deadlines included within the pack, which will be after the deadline to express an interest, giving bidders enough time to complete the documents. All clarifications should be submitted on Ariba and can also be emailed to David Archer ([email protected]) by 17:00 (GMT) on 27th September 2024. YWS will periodically consolidate clarifications that would be relevant to everyone and share the response to these with all bidders anonymously. Following an assessment of the SQ responses received, successful bidders will be invited to participate in the ITT. This is planned for November 2024 but is subject to changes based on YWS discretion.

Reduction of mammal predation on seabirds - assessing options and priorities

The Collaboration in Offshore Wind Strategic Compensation (COWSC) initiative brings together industry, environmental NGOs, SNCBs, the UK Government and Devolved administrations to identify strategic compensation measures. Expert Group 2 was formed to identify potential compensation measures around predation reduction. Three potential measures were identified: predator eradication on islands, predator control and exclusion and biosecurity. There are currently a number of seabird island SPAs that have non-native invasive mammals present as well as many other non-SPA seabird sites. Predator eradication involves a significant investment of resources and time to remove all target invasive mammals from an island until the island can be declared predator free. This is usually done using poison but for larger mammals can also include trapping and shooting. Once an island is predator-free biosecurity measures can be employed to maintain the predator-free status of the site. Significant strides have been made on biosecurity through the RSPB-led Biosecurity for Life project which has seen islands undertaking sufficient biosecurity measures increase from 20% to >90% (https://biosecurityforlife.org.uk/). Predator control and exclusion is used to target impacts at colonies/sites where eradication is not possible, such as inshore islands which mammals can easily access by swimming and mainland colonies. Measures can include fences to prevent mammals accessing sensitive areas and reducing the density of predators using control such as trapping. 4. Project Objectives To meet the overall aims of this project (Section 2), the objectives are: 1. Review of potential sites for management UK 2. Prioritisation of species and locations 3. Development of success criteria 4. Adaptive management options 5. Project Objectives: Detailed Tasks The overarching objective of this project is to deliver a comprehensive list of locations in the UK for potential predator reduction/control, both islands and mainland. The work undertaken here should build on previous work in this area (Ratcliffe et al. 2009; Stanbury et al. 2017) and also be informed by the priorities identified by the Statutory Nature Conservation Bodies (SNCBs) and Government agencies (e.g. English Seabird Conservation and Recovery Pathway (ESCaRP)). Additional information: You are invited by JNCC Support Co (JNCC) to submit a tender for the supply of works or services required under the above project. If interested, you should download and carefully read the documents contained within the zip file.
