Description

We will be awarding a framework agreement for arboricultural services in England to support Plant Health England in order to facilitate work resulting from suspicion of pest or disease presence.

The work may include working directly for the Forestry Commission or the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), an executive Agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).

Our intention is to award this framework agreement for a period of four years starting from 01/04/2020. Annual break points will be available within the framework agreement each year at which time we will decide whether the framework agreement will continue. The decision whether to use break points will be at our discretion and we will base it on the following factors: satisfactory performance, budget availability, level of pest & disease outbreaks requiring arboricultural services, and ministerial decisions.
