Littondale Estate Woodland Creation- Planting

Invitations to Tender will be advertised and

managed through the regional procurement

portal, which was available at the address set out in the Contract Notice (yortender.eu-supply.com/login.asp ↗

B=YORTENDER (yortender.eusupply.com/login.asp ↗)).

Interested economic operators for the service had to express their interest in this opportunity via YORtender, by downloading the documentation and submitting their full tender response by the

deadline detailed in the notice. Bidders submitted their Tender

Submission Document and Pricing Schedule together by the deadline for initial tenders.

Bidders who fail to satisfy the minimum

requirements stipulated in the SQ were eliminated

from the process and not subject to further

evaluation.

Tenders were invited by the Council from Suppliers

with relevant experience and ability to demonstrate

sufficient capacity for the provision for the Littondale

Estate Woodland Creation (the "Services").

The requirement is to supply, plant and protect in

total 29,555 of various trees and shrubs on land at

Litton, Littondale, North Yorkshire. The purpose of

the scheme is to establish a total area of 31.26ha of

new native woodland, during the period of

November 2023 and March 2024.

The anticipated commencement date for the

Contract is dependent on the completion of the

Fencing work that is required prior to planting. We

hope this Contract will commence late November/

early December 2023 but this can be discussed.

Ideally, the anticipated expiry date for the Contract

is 31st March 2024 (after the tree planting season)

but should the weather or unforeseeable events

effect the planting program, we have allowed for an

18month extension to allow the successful Tenderer

to complete in the following planting season

(November 2024 - March 2025).
