    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    Since 2009, the National Parks and Wildlife Service of DAHG, has been preparing

    detailed site-specific conservation objectives for Special Areas of Conservation

    (SACs) and Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in Ireland. To date, detailed

    conservation objectives have been published for over 150 Natura 2000 sites

    (these are published on a site-by-site basis as they are prepared. See:

    http://www.npws.ie/protected-sites/conservation-management-

    planning/conservation-objectives). Conservation objectives are based on the

    principle of defining favourable conservation condition for a particular habitat or

    species at a site level by identifying suitable attributes with targets.

    As part of the ongoing process of preparing detailed site-specific conservation

    objectives for Natura 2000 sites, the Department of the Arts, Heritage and the

    Gaeltacht now invites tenders for provision of scientific support to the

    conservation objective-setting process.

    A detailed specification of the Department’s technical requirements is set out in

    Appendix 1B below. A strict schedule of deliverables will be agreed with the

    successful Tenderer, with the contract expected to commence in May 2016 and

    conclude no later than April 2019.
