Regional Park Garden and Biodiversity Maintenance Contract

We are looking to establish a one-year contract from 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023 to maintain our main amenity gardens and biodiversity nodes within the Waimakariri and Ashley Rakahuri Regional Parks. The detailed work requirements are outlined in two distinct attachments, Attachment 1: Landscape Garden Maintenance and Attachment 2: Biodiversity Node Maintenance.

These gardens provide visual amenity enhancement at key areas of our Parks and benefit from a regular maintenance programme. Maintenance will primarily consist of weed control to improve the visual appearance of the gardens and allow the installed plants better space to grow. Other requirements include removing litter and debris, and trimming plants to keep signage visible.

Biodiversity nodes are planted pockets of native vegetation amongst the mixed river protection trees and scrubby plants. We maintain and enhance a planned array of biodiversity enhancement nodes along several of Canterbury�s riparian corridors. The maintenance of these nodes is the backbone of what we are doing.

We require a supplier with good plant identification knowledge, especially weed and native plant identification skills, and proven experience in weed control work, that can maintain these sites to the outlined standards.
