Notice Description

Lot Information

South East Wales (West) Area Ash dieback and other tree safety work

Natural Resources Wales has a large programme of Ash dieback felling works, along routes and areas inspected in accordance with our tree safety policy. This includes: highways, car parks, public rights of way, promoted routes, forest roads, property boundaries and minor permissive routes. Many of these trees are in hard to access areas such as steep banks, narrow tracks and areas with high ecological sensitivity and constraints. Large scale commercial felling is not in scope of this framework. This purchase seeks to appoint fully skilled and multidisciplinary contractors (with use of appointed sub-contractors where necessary and with prior approval by NRW) each capable of using the full range of methods (mechanical and skilled climbers) to safely remove diseased trees. Mechanical means will be the preferred option where access allows and climbing a 'last resort approach'. Up to three suppliers per Lot will equally share the whole volume of work under the Lot. There will be no mini-competition under this framework mechanism. The duration of any call-off contracts will be set out in each call-off contract.

Renewal: Extension for up to 6 months
