The tender, valued at £30,000 GBP, aims to restore pathways in Monkdown Woods to improve accessibility for horses and walkers. The procurement method is an open procedure with a tender period ending on 17th August 2023. The contract period is scheduled to start on 2nd October 2023 and end on 30th November 2023.

This opportunity is suited for businesses in the construction industry, particularly those providing services related to agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural sectors.

Companies interested in infrastructure development, landscaping, and drainage solutions are well-positioned to compete for this contract, which offers a chance to contribute to environmental conservation and community access improvement.

## Notice

At Monkdown Woods, which adjoins the Bredhurst byway, there is a circular route of connecting bridleways, footpaths and paths by permission of the landowner. These routes are well used by horses and walkers and large areas are becoming increasingly un-passable over the winter months. Please see the mentioned routes in Appendix 1 - Monkdown Woods Map. The different paths are in various states of disrepair - with different areas requiring different treatments. For example, some areas have a hard surface over which organic matter has collected and become boggy, so in these areas the organic matter needs to be scraped away and carefully redistributed in the edges of the woodland; other areas completely lack integrity and there is no hard surface remaining, so there is a need for more organic matter removal and resurfacing with compacted Type 1 hardcore. There are also drainage issues which need to be resolved to prevent the worst areas from quickly re-flooding and eroding once more. Please note, not all of the area needs to be treated, but around 80% of the length requires some intervention, such as removal of organic matter. There are several areas where additional works to aid drainage would be helpful, we estimate that there are 5 areas where this is needed.
