This opportunity falls under the agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services industry category, located in East Sussex, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 30th January 2019. The contract period is slated to commence from 22nd February 2019 and will last until 1st February 2021. This is an open procedure procurement method, inviting broad participation from potential bidders. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on landscape management and ecological consultancy. Companies that specialise in landscape maintenance contracts, consultancy services for public sector contracts, or those with expertise in sustainable environmental practices would be particularly well-suited to compete. As the council seeks to align its contractual arrangements with current ecological needs, firms with innovative approaches to environmental management stand to benefit from this engagement. ## Notice Wealden District Council are seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced consultant for the review the Councils current landscape maintenance contracts and subsequent procurements of new contracts. In 2012 the Council outsourced their landscape maintenance and tree services contracts supported by a number of other arrangements. These contracts are nearing renewal and, in addition, the recent acquisitions the Council have made mean that the present arrangements are no longer suitable for the current land portfolio. In addition the present arrangements are focussed on maintenance operations and need re-focussing to consider environmental and ecological issues. This project is split into two phases as follows: 1 - Review our current contractual arrangements, land and property holdings, report on options available to maintain them and make recommendations to the Council. Review present Landscape Management Plans held by the Council, report on plans held and areas omitted and make recommendations to the Council what is required to provide an acceptable 'portfolio' of Landscape and Ecological Management Plans. Review our current contract management arrangements, report on options available and make recommendations to the Council 2 - Assist in the tendering of new contracts in line with the specification. This is a retender of ESPH261. The specification has been reviewed and additional supporting information is now provided.
