Description
Background information
This tender is seeking contractors to deliver major habitat restoration works. The works that form this tender are mostly to be completed during the period July to September 2025 with some work scheduled from June 2025 and one site Nov 2026-Jan 2026.
The work is for tree felling, tree surgery, scrub removal works, stump grinding. The sites are between Chingford and just north of Epping.
This work will contribute to the delivery of Epping Forest's Second Countryside Stewardship Scheme (CSS) agreement ("Forest 2").
There will be multiple lots in this tender. We will be seeking multiple contractors who have previous experience of providing similar works in a high value nature conservation site (Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) & Special Area of Conservation (SAC)) that is open to the public.
This tender will be published on the Jaggaer Contracts Plus portal on Monday 27th January 2025.
Please note, this is a new portal that replaces the previously used Capital eSourcing, you will need to sign up to Jaggaer.
Site Visits
Site visit attendance is mandatory for the submission of a tender. Due to the size and spread of the sites of the lots there will be two days of site visits with different lots being shown on the different days. You can only bid for the lots that you have attended the site visits with Epping Forest Officers, viewing sites on your own will not count. We will only host enough site visits to see each site once, there will be no return visits to any of the sites with Epping Forest Officers.
You may only be shown a representative sample of some of the sites due to time constraints. You are welcome to visit the sites again afterwards on your own.
Site visits will be held over two days between 5th and 7th February 2025 - so the two dates will be one of the following: 5th & 6th; 5th & 7th; or 6th & 7th.
A list of which lots being shown on which dates will be published on the 27th January 2025. You do not need to attend site visits for lots you are not intending to bid for.
In case of a problem with these dates, backup dates of the 12th AND 13th February 2025 will be used instead - this will be confirmed on the 27th February 2025.
