Vacancy: Supply2Gov Remote Deer Management Tools Opportunity

[wytonpjs]

Just appeared in my Supply2Gov thread this morning - I can not access any further details:

Development of a technique run around dressed as a tiger scaring the deer away or you could just shoot them.
I have a feeling some government money is about to be wasted.

Its the remote bit that'll be challenging - armed drone, drone with bird scarers

It did get me thinking though Hopefully, someone can provide the full link to the ITT so we can see the ask...........

Interesting, I cannot find this on the Gov Contract Finder. Interested if anyone else can please?

It's for the new £10k drones, where they retro fit a speaker and ask the Deer to 'move along please, move along'......

I’ve rarely seen such a low % weighting on price for a public contract (in my world anyway). Usually 70/30 is the best you can hope for. 80/20 here for anyone not wanting to open the doc.

Thanks @weblyish - now registered for that one as well as the England one

Amplifying detail:

The Cairngorms National Park Authority (‘The Park Authority') is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced applicant to lead on a collaborative project to develop innovative techniques to remotely manage deer impacts on peatland habitats and peatland restoration sites. Of primary interest is the development of novel deer deterrent technologies. Additionalities include the development of mechanisms to monitor deer impacts on sensitive upland habitats and their associated valuable characteristics, which may include ecological monitoring and remote sensing techniques.​
