About

Forestry England is seeking a supplier for quarrying services in the North of England covering extraction and processing of hard rock aggregates, including associated drilling and blasting works. Materials are extracted in relatively small quantities at multiple site-specific quarries close to the point of use, primarily for construction and maintenance of forest roads to facilitate timber harvesting; extraction typically takes place over a few weeks each year with material then stockpiled within the quarry or at other designated locations. The Framework is divided into two lots: Lot 1 - Drilling and blasting; Lot 2 - Extraction and processing/crushing.
