Notice Title

Acquisition of Weed Harvesters and Amphibious Weed Harvesters

Notice Description

The Environment Agency uses a number of different types of weed cutting boats and harvesters for essential river maintenance. This maintenance includes managing floating weed, submerged plants, obstructions and other debris in our waterways, ditches and channels. The access and environmental issues requires maintenance to be undertaken using boats rather than construction type equipment. There are a number of amphibious weed cutting boats and weed harvesters required. It is expected that these vessels will be the priority for replacement during the term of the Contract, although there may be other requirements as workload demands. Additional information: Please note a supplier webex event is planned for 8th December 2020. Further information such as time and dial in details will be provided shortly.
