      4. Description of the procurement:
         

         The Environment Agency has a requirement for the provision, servicing, maintenance and disposal of ground care equipment, that includes petrol and battery powered chainsaws, brush cutters, hedge trimmers, multi-head and leaf blowers. This is a national requirement covering the Environment Agency, England. All equipment supplied is to be new, only manufacturers need apply.

         This will replace the soon to expire, existing ground-care agreement which is a single sourced manufacturer led agreement. All equipment, new and existing will require annual servicing as a minimum and ideally we would expect this to be managed by the successful supplier. The successful company will need to have sufficient service agents on a national scale to cover the requirement. The equipment should be serviced at the appropriate manufacturer dealership nearest to our depot location.

         Please note — where tools are used heavily they will require more frequent servicing. The supplier will be required to provide replacement parts for the equipment to short lead times to prevent delays in equipment operation. The Environment Agency values health, safety, welfare and environmental impact very highly and the supplier must endeavour to reduce these impacts. These will include reduced vibration levels and fuel emissions.
