Description

Natural England is seeking to procure a Contractor to provide up to date, evidence-based, auditable, and transparent assessments of the sensitivity of a range of seabird species to a range of pressures.
These sensitivity scores will subsequently be used, in combination with assessments of each species' exposure to those pressures and/or the activities which cause them, to assess the vulnerability of each species to those pressures and activities in England. These vulnerability assessments will be used in the development of an English Seabird Conservation Strategy (ESCS). The ESCS will assess the efficacy of existing measures in managing impacts from the activities causing pressures to which species are vulnerable, and will identify actions to address pressures which are considered not to be adequately addressed by existing measures.
