The Authority wishes to establish a Framework to award individual Call-Off Contracts to providers for the creation of woodland sites over 0.5 ha, involving tree planting; boundary and access works, within Yorkshire Dales National Park. The tree planting season begins in the month of October and ends at the end of March and Call-Off Contracts will be awarded to align with the tree planting season.

The Framework will cover all aspects of woodland creation, including but not limited to bracken control ground preparation; the supply, planting and protection of trees and shrubs; installation of new stock fencing; installation of gates and stiles; removal and disposal of old stock fencing; weeding; and installation of access tracks.
