In plain English
This is a contract to create two new native broadleaf woodlands, one at Heathpool Farm north of Peebles (about 5.22 hectares) and one at Kailzie Farm south of Peebles (about 5.33 hectares). The woodlands are being planted under two separate Forestry Grant Scheme agreements, and the total estimated value is £91,500.
What the buyer wants
• Create two native broadleaf woodland sites, totalling about 10.5 hectares, across Heathpool Farm and Kailzie Farm. • Deliver both projects as one combined contract, while keeping in line with each site's separate Forestry Grant Scheme agreement. • Support the aim of buffering upland streams to improve water quality and increase biodiversity in the Tweed catchment.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice does not set out any specific eligibility criteria, certifications or experience requirements, but the combined contract covering two separate sites and two grant agreements may be harder for a very small business to take on alone.
Always check the tender documents.
