Lots
Lot Title: Predator control and biosecurity

Consider both invasive non-native (e.g. American mink, brown rats, other predators) and native (e.g. fox, hedgehog) mammal predator control and/or exclusion. Where appropriate, avian predator control and/or exclusion should also be considered. Consider both mainland and island colonies (not restricted to Scotland). Detail a comprehensive biosecurity programme at appropriate spatial and temporal scales. Additional information: Lot 1 Contract Start Date 13th August 2025 Lot 1 Contract Expiry Date 26th December 2025
Lot 1 Status: cancelled
Lot 1 Has Options: Yes
Lot 1 Options: Option to extend Lot 1 no later than 4th May 2026

Lot Title: Fisheries management compensatory measures
Lot Description: Lot 3 Fisheries management compensatory measures Identify key actions. Consider potential fisheries closures/management, fisheries by-catch management and aquaculture. Consider outputs of the Defra clean catch programme when available. Consider just transition approaches and ensuring fairness for fishers in the implementation of fisheries management compensatory measures.

Lot Title: Habitat management and restoration
Lot Description: Lot 2 Habitat management and restoration Identify key actions required to deliver a programme of seabird habitat enhancement and restoration across land and sea to improve nesting and prey supporting habitats. The implementation roadmap for this measure will build upon, but not be limited to, potential habitat management options identified by work being led by NatureScot and RSPB. This work will be provided to the successful contractor upon project inception. Additional information: Lot 2 Contract Start Date 4th August 2025 Lot 2 Contract Expiry Date 19th December 2025

Lot Title: Marine litter removal (at scale)
Lot Description: Lot 5 Marine litter removal (at scale) Identify key actions to minimise incidental seabird mortality and that specifically reduce sources of litter that impact on seabird survival and resilience. Consider litter from both domestic (e.g. dropped litter) and industrial sources (e.g. fishing nets). Consider prevention actions that could support delivery of this measure. Consider removal from terrestrial (breeding sites, beaches) and marine (seabird foraging areas) habitats. We anticipate that to be effective this measure would need to implemented at a large spatial scale, consider the appropriate spatial scales for implementation of this measure. Also consider just transition approaches in implementation and alignment with the Scottish Marine Litter Strategy.
