## Summary

The Wyre Forest District Council is conducting a tender for the project titled "Heather Weeding at Rifle Range, Kidderminster," which falls under the category of agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services. The procurement process is at the award stage, with the contract value set at £15,000. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 19th December 2016 and will conclude on 28th February 2017. Businesses interested in bidding were required to attend a site visit prior to the submission deadline of 2pm on 9th December 2016.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in land management and environmental services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, leveraging their expertise in maintaining natural habitats. Given the specificity of the project focused on managing heather growth, companies with experience in horticultural and ecological restoration are particularly well-suited to compete. Winning this contract could enhance a business’s portfolio while promoting sustainable land use in the region.

## Notice

Rifle Range suffers from encroachment by Birch, Oak, broom and gorse. Across much of the site, this can be controlled by a combination of mowing, weedwiping and heavy grazing. However, there are areas of mature heather across the reserve, with broom, birch and gorse beginning to become dominant. This cannot be managed via the mowing/weedwiping method as the age structure of the Calluna needs to be maintained. The purpose of these works is for the Council to be left with areas of mature heather in a condition that it can maintain in the future. A pre-requisite of submitting a tender is attending a site visit planned for Friday 2nd December, time to be confirmed. Deadline for submissions is 2pm, Friday 9th December 2016 to Due North's portal: http://procontract.due-north.com
