How can technology help us detect beaver burrows in the wild and assess their associated risks to public and private interests?
The submission route named on the official notice.
This sits in the upper-middle of the Environment & Waste band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 11,894 valued Environment & Waste tenders in our corpus.
Scottish Natural Heritage has published 10 Environment & Waste notices, about every 8 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around March 2027.
77% of Scottish Natural Heritage’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
Beavers are a protected species.
However their burrowing sometimes causes us problems.
Burrows have been associated with breaching of flood banking and water impoundments, undermining of infrastructure and collapse of sections of riverbank, impacting on businesses and livelihoods.
Entrances to beaver burrows are usually dug below water, which can make detection difficult.
A non-invasive method needs to be developed in order to both reliably detect potentially problematic burrows and assess the risk the burrow presents to infrastructure and people .
A successful method will help anticipate the risk of problems arising from burrows, allowing targeted mitigation to help us live alongside beavers.
