Support for the production of Site-Specific Conservation Objectives

Tender description

The National Parks and Wildlife Service NPWS of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage are seeking tenders from interested parties to provide support to the Conservation Planning Unit in the Scientific Advice and Research Directorate of NPWS in the production and delivery of Site-Specific Conservation Objectives SSCOs for Natura 2000 sites within Ireland. SSCOs are a legal requirement and key feature in the protection processes for designated Natura 2000 sites and their features within Ireland. NPWS have been undertaking this process for a number of years, and have developed standardized templates and reporting processes. These templates and processes will be used and, where necessary, built upon as part of this support contract. This is an entirely desk-based project, taking place part-time from Sept 2023 to Dec 2024. Good editing skills and attention to detail will be a priority. Brief tenders demonstrating experience and with clear costings will be appreciated.
