This open procurement process, classified under forestry services and set to end on 7th February 2022, offers a contract valued at approximately £29,166, with a minimum value of £25,000. The work involves creating and managing green spaces, with a contract period running from 21st February to 31st December 2022. Interested parties should direct their expressions of interest and completed forms to Will Masefield via email. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in environmental management, landscaping, and related services to engage in impactful ecological projects. Companies specialising in services such as tree pruning, the maintenance of green areas, and habitat enhancement will be well-suited to participate. With the emphasis on creating biodiverse ecosystems, smaller enterprises and service-oriented firms aiming to contribute to local conservation efforts can potentially benefit from this contract, broadening their project portfolio while positively impacting the community. ## Notice Thanks to a generous contribution from the European Regional Development Fund and a portfolio of other funders, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust are leading the ERDF Wild Towns Project in Gloucestershire, along with our partners Severn Trent Water, Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group South West and Severn Rivers Trust. Wild Towns will create, connect and enhance green spaces for wildlife in 7 towns across Gloucestershire. This project focuses on improving biodiversity in market towns. In each of these the project will deliver improved ecological networks, enhanced green infrastructure, and natural solutions to water management. These outcomes will be delivered through: the creation of biodiverse grasslands; management of woodlands; removal of barriers to fish in rivers; creating refuges for key species; and the creation of pond networks. The project will achieve broad coverage across Gloucestershire. In the Stroud District interventions will take place along the Nailsworth to Stonehouse corridor. In the Forest of Dean, the project will focus around Cinderford and in the Cotswolds, projects will take place in Cirencester, Fairford, Tetbury and Moreton-in-Marsh. This Terrestrial Habitat Enhancement contract will build on interventions carried out early in the project by providing bat roosting opportunities in Cinderford, meadow enhancement and creation in Cirencester and Moreton in Marsh, and coppicing, pollarding, hedge laying and scrub work in Cirencester.
