## Description

The overall aim and objective of the contract is to control and eradicate floating Pennywort from the Pevensey Levels wetlands\. This will include the following: a\) By removing biomass mechanically in the late summer \(i\.e\. August onwards\) using a sieve bucket\. This needs to be done carefully in order to ensure that the maximum plant material is removed and placed safely at least 3 metres from the ditch edge\. b\) Any residual infestation will be sprayed twice with Glyphosate with Topfilm using a specification provided by the Environment Agency\. No substitutes can be used immediately after mechanical control and 4 and 6 weeks after mechanical clearance\. Spraying should only be done where necessary and may not be undertaken on organic land\. Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses e-tendering, provided by Bravosolutions\. In order to access the Bravo system you will need to be registered\. Could I therefore request that you register on the Bravo portal for Defra\. If you're already registered on the Bravo portal please check that your registration includes Defra, as you have to specify us in order to correctly receive the tender documents\.
