Nod hyn yw cynyddu bioamrywiaeth yn unol a'n cynllun adran 6 ar gyfer bioamrywiaeth.Mae'r offer a ddefnyddir ar hyn o bryd gan ein hadran Streetscene wedi'i gynllunio i dorri a chynnal glaswellt byr, ac nid oes ganddo ymarferoldeb casglu, gan nad oes angen hyn pan fydd glaswelltiroedd yn cael eu torri'n rheolaidd.Mae rheoli dolydd blodau gwyllt yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol na fydd torri gwair rhwng Mawrth ac Awst bob blwyddyn, gan roi digon o amser i flodau gwyllt dyfu, blodeuo a hadu hadau. Mae rheoli dolydd blodau gwyllt hefyd yn gofyn am gael gwared a thoriadau i leihau maetholion y pridd ac atal eginblanhigion newydd rhag cael eu mygu. Mae hyn yn arwain at dywarchen laswelltir tal a llawer iawn o doriadau. Mae angen offer arnom a all gyflawni'r dasg hon.Flintshire County Council is a local authority in the North East of Wales.We are changing our approach to grassland management and are moving away from frequent mowing in some areas, to create wildflower meadows within the public realm. The aim of this is to increase biodiversity in line with our section 6 plan for biodiversity.The equipment currently used by our Streetscene department is designed to cut and maintain short grass swards, and does not have collection functionality, as this is not required when grasslands are cut regularly.Wildflower meadow management requires there to be no grass cutting between March and August each year, giving wildflowers enough time to grow, flower, and set seed. Wildflower meadow management also requires the removal of cuttings to reduce soil nutrients and prevent new seedlings from being smothered. This results in a tall grassland sward and large amounts of cuttings. We need equipment which can fulfil this task. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Sell2Wales | | Latest notice | https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=106933 | | Notice type | S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Feb 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FLINTSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | FLINTSHIRE | | Post town | Chester | | Postcode | CH7 6NA | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL34 Flintshire and Wrexham | | Local authority | Flintshire | | Electoral ward | Mold East | | Westminster constituency | Clwyd East | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TURNER GROUNDSCARE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 16 - Agricultural machinery ### Codes - 16310000 - Mowers - 16311000 - Lawnmowers - 16311100 - Lawn, park or sports-ground mowers ## Release History - 8 Jul 2022 at 11:06 - Award - S2W Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/search_switch.aspx?ID=106933 ## Notice URLs - https://www.flintshire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
