RFQ Clarification Please note the following changes and clarifications to the RFQ methodology and pricing requirements. 1. Change to Survey Area B (Extension of Scope) The extent of Survey Area B has been expanded. It now includes any available supporting nesting habitat for seabirds along the cliffs within the SSSI, rather than being limited to the previously defined locations. 2. Amendment to Survey Methodology To reflect the increased extent of Survey Area B, the survey methodology has been amended as follows: • Survey Area B will now require two survey visits in June, spaced approximately 10 days apart. • The two main colonies in Survey Areas A and C remain unchanged and will still require five survey visits as per the original methodology. 3. Target Species The primary target species for the survey are: • Cormorant • Kittiwake • Fulmar • Razorbill • Herring gull However, all breeding seabirds encountered should be recorded 4. Optional, Budget Dependent Survey Component Please note that the methodology is divided into two parts, one of which is dependent on available budget: • Section B is optional and will only proceed if budget allows. To reflect this, suppliers must provide two separate quotations: 1. Full quote for delivery of Sections A, B, and C. 2. Alternative quote for delivery of Sections A and C only, covering surveys of the two main colonies and excluding Section B.
