This service-focused procurement is currently in the Award stage, with the contract awarded on 8th June 2022, for a total value of £74,720. The contract involves the removal of larch trees infected with Phytophthora Ramorum over an area of 18.68 hectares, with completion expected before 1st September 2022.
