Notice Information

Notice Title

Cut and Collect Verge Monitoring

Notice Description

Road verges have poor habitat value due to current verge maintenance regimes. Cut-and-Collect methods of verge maintenance have been shown, via projects in Dorset and Lincolnshire, to improve bio-diversity in roadside verges. This can provide better wildlife links and improved visual amenity over quick growing grasses and weeds (nettles, brambles etc). West Sussex County Council (WSCC) are in line to trial this method and South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA) wishes to appoint a contractor to provide bio-diversity monitoring evidence including comparisons to control sites to show the change, if any, in the levels of bio-diversity within the monitoring areas. Additional information: SDNPA use an electronic sourcing portal to manage all tendering and quotation exercises and current and future contract opportunities can be viewed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/southdowns. In order to view the full documents available it is necessary to register with the portal. Registration is free and only has to be done once. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
