## Summary

The procurement process involves Bradford Metropolitan District Council seeking to manage the felling of trees infected with Phytophthora ramorum in Betty's Wood, located within St Ives Country Park, Yorkshire and the Humber. This contract, valued at £85,000, is part of the goods category and was awarded following a tender initiated to ensure compliance with a Statutory Plant Health Notice. The contract commenced on 4th September 2017 and must be completed by 31st October 2017. The tender period closed on 21st August 2017.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses engaged in forestry and timber management, particularly those with the necessary licencing to handle plant health issues. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to compete, especially those with expertise in tree felling and timber processing. Such businesses can leverage this contract to expand their operational capabilities and establish valuable connections within the public sector.

## Notice

We have an area of woodland within St. Ives Country Park called Betty's Wood. The predominant species in the wood is larch. The Forestry Commission during one of their routine surveys have detected a plant pathogen called Phytophthora ramorum on some of the larch. Larch is a commercially important timber and to protect other stocks they have served us with a Statutory Plant Health Notice. This requires us to fell and remove the infected trees using licenced contractors hauliers and mills in an area of approximately 12 hectares before the start of this year's sporulation period. We shall be selling the timber by weight as standing trees (purchaser fells and removes), weight being measured by weighbridge tickets for every wagon load. The deadline for the work being completed is 31st October 2017.
