This procurement falls under the category of forestry management services, valued at £40,000, and operates as an open procedure. Interested parties must submit tenders by 5pm on Monday, 28th January 2019, with the work expected to commence in early February and conclude by mid-March 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry management and conservation services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver the required tree maintenance and safety measures effectively. Companies with capabilities in large tree felling and wood management techniques will be well-suited to compete for this contract, leveraging the funding from the European Regional Development Fund to expand their market presence. ## Notice Tree felling and thinning services are sought for a programme of woodland conservation works across three urban sites in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire. The work is being undertaken by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust as part of a wider project funded by the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) referred to as the SUNRISE Project. All three sites are urban parks or open spaces owned and maintained by Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council. The work entails: 1) thinning of plantation woodland (between 20 - 50%), 2) some felling of larger specimens identified as posing a potential or future risk to rights of way or infrastructure, 3) extracting all timber and chipping all brash resulting from the operation. It is anticipated that these works will begin early February 2019 and conclude mid March 2019. Access licences and all other works permissions will be coordinated by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. Detailed specifications are contained within the full Invitation to Tender (ITT) Document which can be downloaded below.
