Disgrifiad:

This tender is for the procurement of services to develop a website and phone app in support of a new project delivered by Keep Wales Tidy and the Woodland trust. There are two lots with in this tender and we are asking contracts to tender for either or both. The funding for the project is not yet in place though is expected to be in June so this is a speculative process though the best tender will be notified before June and appointed once the funding is in place. Introduction Hedgerows and earth banks, along with associated linear woodland features and important ancient trees, are an integral part of our rural landscapes – and date back in some cases many centuries and even millennia. The Long Forest project has been set up to stimulate interest in these green monuments, many of which are older than nearby buildings. Unfortunately because of farm intensification and modem management practices hedges are in a poor state. Through this project we will raise awareness of hedgerows’ importance by engagement, outreach, education, training and learning, as well as through practical restoration work to ensure hedgerows and their heritage is better understood, valued and conserved by landowners, the public and businesses. To address this Keep Wales Tidy (KWT) in partnership with the Woodland Trust (WT) have secured funds from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation to develop and run the Long Forest Project: a community and business engagement project aimed at protecting and improving the condition of hedgerows and other linear woodland features in Wales, through practical conservation work, outreach and education and engagement. It is imperative that we develop a very strong and engaging identity with any online presence and publicity. KWT and WT are now drawing to the end of a 13 month development phase, which started in February 2015 and will run until March 2016, at which point a second round application for a 3 year delivery phase will be submitted. If successful, the delivery phase would commence around June 2016 and run for at least three years. The work will be delivered by a central team who will provide resources that can be accessed by everyone and then more intensive work in four ‘Target Areas’. 1.4 Aims/Outcomes: A. Improve the heritage and enhanced landscape character Improved habitat for wildlife through the better management of hedgerows and planting, thus creating a resilient landscape in which vulnerable species can cope with climatic changes. Improved records for ecologists will help prioritisation of scarce resources and the work will support a wide range of WG policies and initiatives whilst influence policy by demonstration practical implementation of the project. B. Improve understanding of the value of hedgerows Increased awareness of the historical and cultural value of hedgerows amongst: community groups, children, history groups, landowners, NGOs, politicians and business interests will lead to an understanding of the threats, development of new skills and more coordinated policies and programmes to survey, record, restore and celebrate this important heritage asset. C. Wider community benefits Increased participation will result in volunteers acquiring improved health and well-being as well as new skills and learning. Encouraging a wide range of groups to take part will foster greater social cohesion and by developing sponsorship opportunities for businesses we will raise their profile and boost local economies’. Hedgerows are vitally important for a range of EU protected species and are important for many others as they provide nesting opportunities, food, shelter from the weather and protection from predation. 1.5 Delivery themes There are two main heritage aspects to the project with which the objectives will be delivered: Wildlife Heritage: Hedgerows are the unsung heroes of the British landscape. Through agricultural intensification and urban expansion the co
