## Summary

The Environment Agency is seeking proposals for the "OFAS Invasive Species Treatment 2025". This procurement process, currently in the tender stage, is part of the Oxford Flood Alleviation Scheme, aimed at managing invasive species like Japanese Knotweed and Himalayan Balsam. The treatment will involve hand-pulling and spraying the targeted areas within the UKJ region of the United Kingdom. Interested suppliers must submit their bids by 12 midday on 21st May 2025. The estimated contract value is capped at £49,999. The process is being conducted under an open competition method, adhering to the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specializing in environmental services, particularly those offering weed-clearance services.
