Description
The Authority is looking for an effective and efficient wildlife control system in accordance with the regulation and guidance given in the Military Aviation Authority (MAA) Regulatory Article (RA) 3270 and the RA 3500 series. The specified references shall be deemed to imply the current editions as from time to time amended. The aim is to reduce the presence of hazardous birds and other wildlife in and around the vicinity of the aerodromes at Leuchars Airfield and RAF Lossiemouth by means of observation, recording, reporting and survey, assessing the local wildlife population, wildlife behaviour and the effect on aircraft flying at or near that aerodrome, and taking appropriate action to reduce the hazard. Where wildlife control activity is necessary outside the boundaries of the aerodrome, the Contractor shall liaise directly with occupiers of land in the vicinity and Airfield Wildlife Control Units (AWCU) at neighbouring aerodromes (i.e. within the 13km safeguarding zone) with a view to reducing the air safety risk posed by that site.
*Interested suppliers are required to complete the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) to provide the Authority with information to evaluate the supplier's capacity and capability against the selection criteria. The Authority uses the PQQ response to create a shortlist of the tender who:
1. Are eligible to participate
2. Fulfil any minimum economic, financial, professional and technical standards; and
3. Best meet, in terms of capacity and capability, the selection criteria set out in this notice and the PQQ.
It is the Authority's intention to select a maximum of 6 of the highest scoring suppliers who will be invited to tender providing they meet the overall score of a pass within the PQQ. If a supplier receives a fail to any question within the PQQ, they will automatically fail the evaluation and not be invited to participate further.
