Soft-Market Testing - Epping Forest Habitat Works

City of London Corporation is undertaking a Soft Market Testing exercise for the provision of Habitat work in Epping Forest as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme. Epping Forest are entering into the Countryside Stewardship Scheme grant which will start 2020. The grant will fund works which will include veteran pollard tree surgery, tree felling and minor scrub removal.

This is a soft market testing exercise that seeks input from the market to establish the most attractive way of packaging and scoping a potential future procurement opportunity for the delivery of the habitat work within Epping Forest. We are seeking to invite suitable suppliers to attend a Supplier Engagement Day at Epping Forest and/or to respond to the attached questionnaire. The feedback you provide on the day or via the questionnaire have no bearing on any future tender submission you submit.

The Soft Market testing exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system 'CapitaleSourcing' (url:www.capitalesourcing.com). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate, registration is free.
