This procurement process, currently at the tender stage, will involve managing specialist vegetation cutting on NRW-managed land in Mid Wales. The tender is divided into four regional Lots, each encompassing zones such as car parks, trailheads, and forest road verges. Key deadlines include the end of the enquiry period on 25 May 2026 and the closing of the tender submission on 8 June 2026 at 9:00 AM. The estimated value of the framework is £1,080,000 with the project set to span four years starting from 15 July 2026.
