## Summary

The procurement process involves Norse Eastern Ltd seeking contracts for "Norse Highways DPS - Lot 3 Grip/Back Ditch Cleaning," within the horticultural services industry in the East of England, UK. The tender was published as of 6 September 2021 and has a contract value of £510,000. This contract has already been awarded as of 25 August 2021, and it is set to run from 6 September 2021 to 5 September 2022. The procurement was conducted through a restricted procedure, placing it under the selective procurement method.

This contract presents opportunities for growth, especially for suppliers capable of providing specialised cleaning services. Businesses that have machinery suitable for grip cutting and ditch cleaning, particularly those in the horticultural services or landscaping sectors, would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to engage in future tenders as they were highlighted as suitable competitors for this project, potentially leading to substantial contracts in the local area.

## Notice

Successful Bidders will be required to clean out and clear existing grips and back ditches to full length by mechanical means using grip cutting machinery suitable for the activity. Existing grips and back ditches are not to be excavated (cleaned over 300mm deep) without following additional safe digging procedures. Under HSG47, the cleaning of grips (less than 300mm deep) is not deemed to be excavation and therefore can be carried out outside of this guidance. Provision of utility plans and use of cable scanning equipment are therefore not required for this 'cleaning' activity.
