The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with responses due by 30th August 2024. This project, which falls under the Forestry Services (CPV code 77200000) industry category, involves clearing a 15-hectare site to foster the growth of native broadleaf woodland. It is an open procurement method requiring a site visit to ensure accurate quoting. Interested parties should contact Julia Harrison at RSPB for further details and to arrange site visits. This tender presents numerous business growth opportunities, especially for companies experienced in forestry services, tree felling, and woodland management. Ideal candidates would be businesses with the capability to handle large-scale ecological projects and a focus on sustainability. The project offers a chance to establish a working relationship with prominent organisations like the RSPB and the Eryri National Park Authority, potentially leading to future projects in environmental conservation and woodland management across Wales. ## Notice Conifer regen felling from a 15 hectare site in the Elan valley near Penglaneinon, just over 6 miles to the west of Rhayader (Grid ref SN912625). This site is being allowed to revert to broadleaf woodland and it requires felling to waste of self-seeded non-native conifer regen throughout the site.
