EBC TT Biodiversity Enhancement Scheme

Tender description

Elmbridge Borough Council is approaching the market with the view of getting a contractor to restore the western end of Broad Water Lake within the wet woodland in the south of the site. This work includes clearing some trees and a pond on the site to create a new habitat for wildlife via the following approaches: o De-silting and deepening in specific areas in order to create four areas of open water; o Removal of non-native invasive species o Three log piles and approximately four hibernacula will be created within the site using any felled trees and the substrate obtained from de-silting the lake. Although this contract is for a particular site, the contract is for a maximum period of five years. Should there be additional works in this timescale for similar work the Council will be awarding to the successful supplier should they still be deemed to be commercially competitive. The Council reserves the right to carry out benchmarking exercises prior to awarding additional works during the contract term.
