## Summary

The public procurement process for the purchase of timber tree guard stakes is currently active. The buying organisation is the Defra Network eTendering Portal based in York, England. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically timber products. The procurement method is an open procedure under an open threshold, with a tender period ending on 20th September 2022 and contract period from 3rd to 31st October 2022.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for suppliers of hardwood tree stakes suitable for woodland restoration projects. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can provide long-lasting, rot-resistant stakes from sustainable sources are well-suited for this tender. The specific requirements cater to the UK government timber procurement policy, making it an ideal opportunity for businesses in the timber and related industries looking to expand their market presence.

## Notice

The project is aiming to restore and improve over 800 hectares of ravine woodland within the Peak District Dales SAC to mitigate the effects of ash dieback on this European priority habitat. Restoration work will involve targeted interventions and the planting of over 200,000 trees. Supply of tree stakes for the forthcoming autumn/winter season. Due to the slow growing nature of trees on steep-sided ravines, we require hardwood tree stakes that are long-lasting and resistant to rot. They must also be produced from legal and sustainable sources to adhere to the UK government timber procurement policy.
