## Description
The objective of this Procurement Process is establish a framework for the provision of Woodland & Arboricultural Services (Lot 1) and Countryside & Habitat Management Services (Lot 2). 
It is the intention of Yorkshire Water to create this framework agreement to help meet their AMP8 programme and maintain 28,000ha+ of land, including raw water catchments, recreational land, rural agricultural tenanted land, woodland, and operational land (boreholes, reservoirs, treatment works, etc.).
Maintenance of the land via this framework will be through forestry & tree management (including tree surveys/inspections, proactive and reactive tree works, and forestry management including planting, felling, and forestry plans) and countryside & habitat management (this includes general works as well as building and maintaining habitats). The framework agreement is intended to contract for works, as well as management services in order to manage parcels of work from concept to completion. 
This procurement process will be split up into 2 Lots:
Lot 1 - Woodland & Arboricultural Services (including Lot 1a Arboricultural Surveys, 1b Arboricultural & Reactive Works, 1c Forestry Management)
Lot 2 - Countryside & Habitat Management
Suppliers can bid for as many sub-lots/lots as they wish.
The duration of the proposed contract opportunity is 36 months, with the potential for an optional renewal in 12 month increments for up to a total term of 36 months, at YW discretion. If all extensions were exercised, the total contract duration would be for a total of 72 months (or 6 years)
For access to the Ariba event and full information, including the Selection Questionnaire that we would request each interested party to submit as an expression of their interest, please reach out to Ross Bateman at ross.bateman@yorkshirewater.co.uk by the specified deadline of this notice.
