Buckinghamshire Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of woodland creation and maintenance services across multiple identified sites within the county.

The procurement, classified under CPV code 77310000 for planting and maintenance services of green areas, used an open procedure method. The project, slated to start during the winter season, involves the creation of woodland in compliance with UKFS guidelines and includes maintaining 27,000 newly planted trees.
