## Summary

The "ERDF Wild Towns Ditch Clearance ITT" tender, facilitated by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, is part of the ERDF Wild Towns Project aimed at enhancing ecological networks and biodiversity in Gloucestershire. The procurement process employs an open method, with a contract value of £30,000 for site-clearance work, specifically targeting locations like Fairford and Tetbury. The tender period concluded on 7th October 2019, while the contract is set to commence on 19th October 2019 and run until 31st March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental management, site clearance, or grounds maintenance. Businesses that provide services such as weed clearance, landscape protection, and the hiring of agricultural machinery with operators would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By engaging with projects focused on biodiversity and environmental enhancement, contractors can contribute to sustainable practices and potentially secure future contracts in similar initiatives.

## Notice

ERDF Wild Towns Project Thanks to a generous contribution from the European Regional Development Fund and a portfolio of other funders, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust are leading the ERDF Wild Towns Project in Gloucestershire, along with our partners Severn Trent Water, Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group South West and Severn Rivers Trust. Wild Towns will create, connect and enhance green spaces for wildlife in 7 towns across Gloucestershire. This project focuses on improving biodiversity in market towns. In each of these the project will deliver improved ecological networks, enhanced green infrastructure, and natural solutions to water management. These outcomes will be delivered through: the creation of biodiverse grasslands; management of woodlands; removal of barriers to fish in rivers; creating refuges for key species; and the creation of pond networks. The project will achieve broad coverage across Gloucestershire. In the Stroud District interventions will take place along the Nailsworth to Stonehouse corridor. In the Forest of Dean, the project will focus around Cinderford and in the Cotswolds, projects will take place in Cirencester, Fairford, Tetbury and Moreton-in-Marsh. This ditch clearance contract will allow water to move more easily away from Fairford and will enhance habitats for wildlife in Tetbury. Please see the attached Invitation to Tender for specific details of the work and send expressions of interest and then completed forms via email to will.masefield@gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk. Additional information: 12/09/19 - Spec of works adapted due to a change in the proportion of vegetative clearance to silt clearance needed. Closing date extended to 7th October.
