    Brief

    Forestry England is seeking an experienced contractor to remove invasive rhododendron and scrub vegetation from the Wild Purbeck area in the South Forest District. This work is essential for habitat restoration, as rhododendron is a non-native invasive species that suppresses native plants, reduces biodiversity, damages woodland regeneration, and degrades habitat conditions. The contractor must have trained personnel, specialist machinery, and proven expertise in vegetation clearance within woodland and environmentally sensitive areas. Work must begin in November 2026 to align with ecological timing requirements and seasonal operating windows, with the full contract lasting 6 months and completing by April 2027. This project supports Forestry England's broader habitat restoration and land management programme. The contract is time-critical due to the specific seasonal requirements for vegetation removal and the planned transition to a new National Vegetation Management Framework for future work.
