Summary

Machine-generated summary

Forestry England requires an experienced contractor to remove Rhododendron and scrub within the Wild Purbeck area of the South Forest District. Rhododendron is an invasive non-native species that suppresses native vegetation, reduces biodiversity and hinders woodland regeneration. The works are seasonal vegetation clearance forming part of Forestry England's land management and habitat restoration programme. They must be carried out during the 2026/27 season, commencing from November 2026 to use the seasonal operating window. The contractor needs trained personnel and specialist machinery to work safely in woodland and environmentally sensitive sites. The contract lasts 6 months, as a new National Vegetation Management Framework is expected for future requirements.
