Severn Trent Water seeks to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to deliver hedgerow planting services across its operational area during the 2026/27 planting season.
The scope of the contract includes the delivery of approximately 20 kilometres of hedgerow planting across multiple sites, comprising approximately 15,000 metres of hedge whip planting and 5,000 metres of eco-hedge planting, together with associated tree planting.

The contractor will be responsible for the receipt, storage and distribution of plant stock, implementation of biosecurity controls, delivery of planting works in accordance with the specification, provision of photographic and completion records, and ongoing establishment support including site audits and replacement planting where necessary.
