The work under this DPS will comprise the felling and extraction of diseased and dangerous trees that are considered a risk to the public along highways, adjacent to infrastructure including facilities, trails and public rights of way, or on forest boundaries. The sites are a larger scale than individual trees.
The majority of work will be completed using a mechanised method such as a grapple saw or harvester and forwarder/tractor and timber trailer for extraction. On some occasions the assistance of motor manual chainsaws maybe required to process the trees. The use of a tractor and winch maybe required for operational purposes. |

This procurement covers the provision of temporary staff to support car park management and admissions operations during peak visitor periods.
Car park staff are responsible for managing vehicle flow to prevent congestion on the A46, ensuring queues do not form onto the main road. They will direct vehicles safely and efficiently, maintaining traffic flow and prioritising visitor and public safety.
The admissions support element provides additional staffing during periods of high footfall to ensure visitors are processed efficiently. This includes managing multiple admissions points, such as the main admissions window and external pods, to minimise queuing and maintain a positive visitor experience. |
