What is being bought

Published requirement description

Management of all types of vegetation (woody or herbaceous) that is deemed an invasive species on a designated or conservation site which are outside of the establishment operations. Woody species include all tree species and shrubs such as Hemlock, Rhoddendron and Gaultheria. Herbaceous species include all specified noxious weeds, Japanese knotweed and shall include other species such as; Gunnera, Balsam and Skunk Cabbage.

The majority of the work in the west of Scotland under this tender forms part of the Scottish Government’s commitment to restoring Scotland’s rainforests. It is therefore the first stage of a longer term programme of work, which will in due course involve similar work on private- and third-sector land, in addition to the national forests and land.
