Vegetation management is also required to achieve the anticipated outcomes which will include felling of trees using chainsaws/clearing saws and strimming or mowing other target species. NRW is looking to establish a four-year Framework with suppliers to provide the above services. The tender will be split into four Lots, 1) covering hydrological restoration works on lowland and upland bogs, 2)hydrological restoration of previously afforested bogs, 3)tree removal from bogs, and 4) vegetation management works. Each Lot will be split into four, smaller sub-lots based on NRW operational boundaries across Wales. These geographical sub-lots will cover: North Wales, Mid-Wales, South Wales and Pen y Cymoedd in Neath Port Talbot and Rhondda Cynon Taff. CPV: 70332100, 45111240, 45111240, 45111220, 45111220.

Main site or place of performance:

Locations across Wales

II.2.4) Description of the procurement

These works are required to reinstate the hydrological function of the remnant bog features on the sites to which they will be applied. Bogs are essentially low-flow hydrological systems, so any drainage infrastructure installed for afforestation, or erosion features naturally occurring or man-made, increase water flow off the bog and therefore lead to degradation of the underlying peat. Restoration of the natural hydrological conditions will reinstate blanket bog functionality and reverse the processes of erosion and re-establish peat forming conditions. Techniques and operations for restoring other native habitats included in the Pen y Cymoedd Habitat Management Plan will be undertaken off this FWA using the same machinery types as required to deliver the above works.

WGWE refers to the Welsh Government Woodland Estate.

This lot is split into 4 regional sub-lots: North Wales, Mid Wales, South Wales & Pen-y-Cymoedd (which is located in the Neath Port Talbot & Rhondda Cynon Taff local authority areas).
