## Summary

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is inviting tenders for scrub control on a 110-hectare heathland site located in south Staffordshire. The tender, titled "Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is seeking a contractor to undertake control of scrub on a 110 hectare heathland site in south Staffordshire," has an end date for submissions set for 5th March 2019. The procurement process follows an open method and is classified under the CPV code for scrub-removal work. The contract period is set to commence on 1st October 2019 and conclude by 16th December 2021, with a budget of £20,000 for this project. The site is wet and has limited vehicle access, with work required to be carried out by hand due to the size of the scrub.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in environmental works and land management. Companies experienced in hand-clearing and ecological restoration within sensitive areas, particularly those with knowledge of working in Sites of Special Scientific Interest, will be well-suited to compete. The project entails essential environmental management, thus aligning with businesses that prioritise sustainability and ecological preservation in their operations.

## Notice

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust is looking for a contractor to undertake scrub control in roughly 5 hectares of a 110 hectare heathland site. Scrub control is to be carried out over the late autumn / winter months. Araisings are to be burnt on-site on sheets of metal. Remaining ash from fire is to be removed. The scrub is roughly 15-year old birch, so the work will need to be done by hand as too large for flailing. Stumps are to be painted with a suitable herbicide to prevent re-growth. The site is wet, so vehicle access is limited. The site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Staffordshire Wildlife Trust will be responsible for Natural England consent.
