Description

We are looking for a Supplier that demonstrates professionalism, experience, and a suitable work profile in Direct Production (DP) Harvesting. The Supplier should be highly experienced at working within heavily visited public areas. All services provided must comply with the United Kingdom Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS), Forest Industry Safety Accord (FISA) guides, The UK Forestry Standard (UKFS), Forestry England Health and Safety Policy, and all other relevant environmental and health & safety legislation. The Commission expects most of the work to be undertaken with purpose-built forestry machines deployed within a short-wood system of working. There is a regular requirement for some motor-manual working and occasional winch extraction to support this work.
