Forest Management Operations and Invasive Vegetation Control

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Forest Management Operations: Management of the planting programme including the maintenance operations required to establish sites (operations listed below), excluding fencing, deer management and ground preparation.

Rapid restocking can minimise weed growth (and hence herbicide use) and loss of nutrients and sediment from sites and may be needed to help improve forest structure.

Invasive Vegetation Control: Management of all types of vegetation (woody or herbaceous) that is deemed an invasive species on the designated or conservation site which are outside of the establishment operations.

Woody species include all tree species and shrubs such as Hemlock, Rhododendron and Gaultheria.

Herbaceous species include all specified noxious weeds such as Japanese knotweed and shall include other species such as Gunnera, Balsam and Hypericum.

Control of all Invasive vegetation will require a variety of techniques, including stem injection, cutting and spraying to ensure that the plants are controlled to an effective level.

There is no mulching or similar operation which require excavators or heavy plant machinery under these Contracts.
