NRW Respacing, cleaning and weeding framework

Natural Resources Wales · compiled

Tender information last checkedLast checked 29 Sept 2026, 19:17.

Opportunity overview

NRW is responsible for the management of the Welsh Government Woodland Estate and land in our care. NRW is certified by both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) to meet the UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS). This Respacing, cleaning and weeding framework relates to the supply of respacing services, delivering 6 main requirements: 1. Cleaning of naturally regenerated or planted crops 2. Re-spacing of naturally regenerated or planted crops 3. Creation of inspection racks through brashing 4. Mechanical weeding 5. Hand weeding 6. High pruning Due to the nature of the required works it is difficult for NRW to estimate the value of this framework. For the purposes of establishing this framework we estimate spend in a range of 3,700,000 GBP and 4,500,000 GBP. NRW does not guarantee any level of expenditure under this framework. The overall Framework will have a term of 48 months (4 years). It is structured as a 36 month (3 year) initial term with 1 x further 1 year (12 month) extension allowable.
