Lowland Raised Bog Restoration Framework Contract

Descriptions

Natural England intend to create a framework contract so that we have all the services required for peat bog restoration in one place and to also help streamline the contract award process. Specific Purchases under the stated framework lots will be made on an ad hoc basis as the opportunity arises over the next 4 years. Purchases will cover Tree/Scrub Removal, Peat Restoration activities, Surveys, Analysis and Health & Safety Design/Supervision. 50 % or more of the expenditure committed via this framework will be made by Natural England, however we expect the Ministry of Defense, the Forestry Commission, the Environment Agency and other members of the DEFRA family such as Core Defra, The Lake District National Park Authority, The North York Moors National Park Authority, The Northumberland National Park Authority, The Peak District National Park Authority and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority will also use it for ad hoc Peat restoration on their sites. Tenders can only be submitted via our e-tendering portal (Bravo). Prior to the tender clarification deadline you may contact us to clarify any points with regard to the tender. Each lot will have its own ‘Messages’ section to communicate with us. We require that you contact us in writing via the Bravo ‘Messages’ area and that you ensure the question you are asking relates to the lot you are messaging from (unless it is a general query with regard to the framework as a whole). We will then compile a document of Q&As which will be updated and made available through Bravo every time a new query is asked.
