Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission is seeking suppliers for a contract titled "Contract for Forest of Dean mulching/mowing for wildlife management," which is classified under the agricultural and forestry categories. The contract is set to commence on 16th October 2017 and will run for four years, concluding on 15th October 2021. This procurement process has been initiated as an open tender, with a total estimated budget of £80,000 for the duration, although specific annual amounts may fluctuate based on project demands. The tender period ended on 11th September 2017, and the opportunity involves works related to the creation and maintenance of wildlife management areas in the South West of England.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in forestry management, landscaping, and environmental services. Businesses equipped to undertake mulching and maintenance tasks will find this tender particularly advantageous, especially those able to adapt to varying work demands over the four-year period. With a first-year value expected to be around £28,000 for the creation of glades, and potential for increased maintenance work, interested companies should be prepared for an evolving scope of work in response to ecological considerations and ongoing forest programmes.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Contract for Forest of Dean mulching/mowing for wildlife management

Notice Description

This contract will run for four years from October 2017 and is for the creation and maintenance of open areas within the forest environment to allow the Forestry Commission to cull deer and feral wild boar. This contract will be split into two lots, Lot 1- Creation (Mulching); and Lot 2-Maintenance (Swiping). Lot one carries a first year value of approximately PS28,000, decreasing to an on demand day rate for the remaining three years. It should be noted that, due to environmental factors, and the ongoing forest works programme the Forestry Commission cannot guarantee the amount for this future spend. Lot two has an annual maximum value of PS10,000 for each of the 4 years. It can be expected that whilst the work for glade creation (Lot 1) will decrease after year one, work for lot 2 will increase over time to maintain open areas created using lot one.
