Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the removal of Sweet Chestnut trees situated in Starcross, Devon, has been successfully completed by the Defra Network eTendering Portal. This project falls under the agricultural and environmental services industry category and was initiated due to a notifiable disease case involving infected trees. The contract was awarded to Acorn Environmental Management Group Ltd for a total value of £18,482.94, with the contract period running from 13 March 2017 to 31 March 2017. The procurement method employed was limited, meaning the contract was awarded without prior publication of a contract notice, highlighting the urgency in addressing this sensitive issue.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in environmental services, specifically those that specialise in tree removal and management. Companies with experience in managing biological waste and working under time constraints would be particularly well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage in such tenders, as the procurement process is accessible to a diverse range of businesses, including those registered with the Defra eTendering portal.
