    The successful Service Provider will provide one full Forestry Team, consisting of three (3) members:

    Two (2) of the members must be fully qualified climbers (Minimum NPTC cs30, cs31, cs38 and cs39 or similar)

    • One (1) member must be a fully qualified groundsman (Minimum NPTC cs30 and cs31)
    • Three (3) members must be fully trained to operate self-propelled Mobile Boom Machines (Minimum IPAF 1b & 3b)
    • Climbing Kits must hold current LOLER certificates

    Evidence for these requirements will be requested at the “Request for Documentation” Stage.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
