Summary of the contracting process

The North York Moors National Park Authority is overseeing a tender for forestry work at Morra Head Farm, Harwood Dale, under the procurement process ID MT235182. This tender involves the clear felling of 3 hectares of a Sitka spruce plantation, as well as the thinning of 3.2 hectares of a mixed Scots pine/Sitka plantation. It falls under the industry category of agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services. The open procedure, classified as below threshold, is being used. The project is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, with a contract value estimated at £25,000. Key dates include the tender period ending on 25th August 2025 at 17:00, and the intended contract period running from 15th September 2025 to 20th October 2025.

This tender provides a promising opportunity for businesses in the forestry sector, particularly those specialising in timber harvesting and forest management. Given the open procurement method and suitability for small and medium enterprises, companies with expertise in managing similar projects and those capable of offering competitive pricing for the timber will find this opportunity advantageous. Furthermore, the involvement with a public authority such as the North York Moors National Park Authority may enhance a company’s portfolio and provide future business growth opportunities through continued collaborations.
