How this framework works
From the published notice- Places
- up to 6 suppliers · 9 bids on the busiest of 2 lots (1.5 per place) · 6 appointed (full)
Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure
2 lots · all with a published value · a supplier may bid for at most 1 and win at most 1 of them · same evaluation weights on every lotEvery one of these 2 lots carries the same published figure, £300,000: it is the framework's maximum for the whole notice, not each lot's own budget, and no share per lot is published. The cards below say ceiling above rather than repeat it.
Natural Resources Wales has a large programme of Ash dieback felling works, along routes and areas inspected in accordance with our tree safety policy. This includes: highways, car parks, public rights of way, promoted routes, forest roads, property boundaries and minor permissive routes.
Many of these trees are in hard to access areas such as steep banks, narrow tracks and areas with high ecological sensitivity and constraints.
Large scale commercial felling is not in scope of this framework.
This purchase seeks to appoint fully skilled and multidisciplinary contractors (with use of appointed sub-contractors where necessary and with prior approval by NRW) each capable of using the full range of methods (mechanical and skilled climbers) to safely remove diseased trees. Mechanical means will be the preferred option where access allows and climbing a ‘last resort approach’.
Up to three suppliers per Lot will equally share the whole volume of work under the Lot. There will be no mini-competition under this framework mechanism. The duration of any call-off contracts will be set out in each call-off contract.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 50
- Price: 50
- Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “South East Wales Ash dieback and other tree safety work Framework…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 6 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
