Description
The Supplier demonstrates professionalism, experience, and a suitable work profile in Direct Production (DP) Harvesting. The Supplier is 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. The Commission may at our sole discretion consider alternative systems that are demonstrated to be fully compliant with this specification.
