This open tender, classified under transport services (excluding waste transport), seeks to transport a minimum of 75,000 tonnes of timber per annum. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract valued at approximately £4.82 million, signed on 26th July 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in logistics and transport, particularly those with established capabilities in timber handling and shipping. Businesses well-versed in meeting rigorous quality standards and those capable of providing a comprehensive transport solution are well-suited to compete.
