Dynamic Procurement System (DPS) creation for public interest clearance of uncultivated areas. The purpose of the public interest clearance is to dismantle uncultivated, neglected or vineyards posing a plant health risk, in such a way that they no longer serve as a source of infection, and do not endanger the plant health status and economic cultivability of the surrounding vineyards. The main reason is to prevent the spread of grapevine Flavescence dorée (FD). FD is one of the most serious grapevine diseases in Europe, which has appeared in almost the entire wine-growing area of Hungary. The infection spreads rapidly and cannot be cured by direct plant protection treatment, so the dismantling of infected or uncultivated vineyards is one of the most important elements of the defense. The purpose of the public interest clearance is therefore not only to dismantle the given vineyard, but also to maintain regional plant health security, to protect the interests of producers, and to prevent the spread of quarantine pests.
