This open procedure is now in the tender stage, with proposals due by 12 noon on 22nd January 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1st February 2021 and conclude by 31st May 2021. This initiative, conducted in partnership with the Environment Agency as part of the National Lottery-funded Landscape Partnership Scheme, focuses on enhancing biodiversity and reducing downstream flood flows while managing rural pollution. The tender is categorised under agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services, with a project value of £15,000, and a minimum value of £13,000. This project presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in public procurement related to environmental management. Businesses that specialise in landscape management, ecological restoration, or civil engineering are well-suited to compete for this contract. Successful tenderers will collaborate with NFC and the Environment Agency, enabling them to contribute to sustainable land management practices while enhancing their portfolio through valuable work in flood management and environmental conservation. ## Notice The National Forest Company (NFC), acting on behalf of the Charnwood Forest Regional Park partnership, invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to identify and deliver the first phase of Natural Flood Management (NFM) interventions along the Black and Wood Brooks within the Charnwood Forest Landscape Partnership Scheme (LPS) area. These interventions will reduce flood flows downstream, mitigate diffuse rural pollution and provide increased biodiversity. Phase 1 involves the detailed preparations for the capital works programme and will finalise landowner agreements, produce detailed designs and apply for relevant permissions to allow Phase 2, the capital works, to be carried out next financial year (2021/22). Phase 2, the capital works, will be tendered for separately following the completion of Phase 1. This project is being carried out in partnership with the Environment Agency and as part of the National Lottery-funded Landscape Partnership Scheme. The contractor will therefore be expected to work closely with the Environment Agency and the LPS Programme Manager and other staff based at the National Forest Company to ensure maximum benefits for biodiversity, landscape and communities. We anticipate that the contract will commence on 1st February 2021. The project is to be completed by 31st May 2021. Proposals providing the information and quotes requested as outlined above should be received at the NFC offices by 12 noon on the closing date of Friday 22nd January 2021. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1fd0555-4ffc-4ca3-9578-aded37d9d44a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2021 - 31 May 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE NATIONAL FOREST COMPANY | | Locality | SWADLINCOTE | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE12 6BA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | North West Leicestershire | | Electoral ward | Ashby Woulds | | Westminster constituency | North West Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77000000 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ## Release History - 8 Jan 2021 at 14:57 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1fd0555-4ffc-4ca3-9578-aded37d9d44a - 17 Dec 2020 at 10:28 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1fd0555-4ffc-4ca3-9578-aded37d9d44a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1fd0555-4ffc-4ca3-9578-aded37d9d44a 8th January 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/72df1f03-ba48-4f42-bebc-12468068957d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c7420f05-6c5e-440a-8200-4006f06f05be - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f10cf820-9119-4fc6-a84c-e38285d59f56 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/6186d266-21c2-4b80-8ca1-cc2f88f8b9e5 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8d47639f-44ea-4681-8ef3-6d52c800442d ## Notice URLs - http://www.nationalforest.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
