Description

Ulster Wildlife has been awarded funding through the DAERA Natural Heritage Environmental Challenge Fund 2022/23, to develop restoration plans for a selection of blanket and raised bogs Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and Areas of Special Scientific Interest (ASSIs) across NI, as well as afforested priority peatland habitat adjacent to these designated sites. Ulster Wildlife are seeking to appoint a qualified and experienced provider to deliver remote sensing LiDAR/photogrammetry and a range of hydrological restoration plans for drained, cutover, afforested and eroded blanket bog and raised bog sites. As the plans will be used to inform future funding bids for the delivery of peatland restoration works, they will include a detailed specification of works, cost range estimates and suggested monitoring protocols to measure improvements in hydrological functionality. The plans will draw on best practice and include prioritisation of works per site in terms of cost/benefit and potential for restoration success. This information will allow proposed restoration works to be prioritised and tailored to fit future funding budgets as necessary. The objective is to have a restoration works specification of sufficient detail to allow Ulster Wildlife to create a future tender documents for the delivery of the works. Please see ITT documents for full details and instructions for submitting a tender.
