Original Tender Description

We invite you to provide a quote for undertaking tree maintenance and aftercare of 32.5 coupes, spread across the reserves of Dovedale, Ilam, Ladyside, Ossoms & Soles Coppice. The total number of trees to be inspected will be 10,400. Life in the Ravines is a 5-year woodland restoration project being delivered in the Peak District Dales Special Area of conservation. The project aims to mitigate the effects of ash dieback that has devastated these woodlands in recent years. The project has planted over 100,000 trees in areas where the woodland canopy is most threatened by the effects of ash dieback. Natural England is looking for a supplier to perform aftercare and maintenance of trees that have already been planted by the project. The trees to be maintained have been planted in either 0.25 ha hexagonal coupes, or 0.125Ha Half-hexagonal coupes, containing 320 or 160 trees respectively. Tree species are protected with 1.5m shelters, supported by 1.6m stakes. Shrub species are protected with 0.6m shelters supported by 0.7m stakes.

Tender Quality Score

This tender for tree aftercare and maintenance in the Peak District Dales SAC is generally well-structured, with clear descriptions and a reasonable estimated value. However, it lacks explicit evaluation criteria and details on the submission process beyond providing a quote.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance75/100

The tender appears to comply with basic legal requirements, including a clear CPV code and a defined procedure for below-threshold open competition. Deadlines are provided, though the submission deadline might be considered tight given the scope. No disputes are indicated. The procedure is open competition, which is generally compliant.

Clarity80/100

The description of the services required, including the number of coupes, trees, and protection methods, is clear and detailed. The context of the 'Life in the Ravines' project is well-explained. However, the absence of specified evaluation criteria leaves some ambiguity on how bids will be assessed.

Missing evaluation criteria
Completeness70/100

Most basic information is present, including title, reference, organization, description, estimated value, and contract duration/start date. However, the lack of available document content and the absence of specified evaluation criteria detract from its completeness.

No document content available

The tender is an open competition, which promotes fairness. The estimated value is disclosed, and the criteria, while not explicitly stated for evaluation, seem to be based on technical capability and service provision. There are no obvious requirements tailored to specific companies.
