Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government is seeking to enhance community engagement through the "Free Tree Giveaway Campaign," aimed at encouraging all households in Wales to participate in planting trees as part of the National Forest for Wales initiative. This campaign is classified under the "Other community, social and personal services" industry category and is currently in the Award stage following the completion of the tender process. The contract, valued at £1,333,000, was signed on 30th November 2021, with the contract period running from December 2021 to 31st March 2023. The procurement was executed using a limited method, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice due to the specialised expertise required for successful implementation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, community engagement, or marketing. Companies with the capacity to support the distribution of trees, manage community volunteer efforts, and deliver effective marketing campaigns would be particularly well-suited to compete for related contracts or collaborate with the Woodland Trust, the designated supplier responsible for executing the campaign. The initiative aims to rally community participation and could lead to follow-on opportunities as public interest in environmental sustainability continues to grow.

Notice Title

Free Tree Giveaway Campaign

Notice Description

To give all the households of Wales (1.3m) the opportunity to plant a tree either themselves or through community action as their contribution to the National Forest for Wales.

Lot Information

Lot 1

To give all the households of Wales (1.3m) the opportunity to plant a tree either themselves or through community action as their contribution to the National Forest for Wales. All aspects of the Tree for All Campaign to be delivered on behalf of the Welsh Government. Supporting every household in Wales to plant a tree will require not only setting up methods to distribute trees across Wales, but also delivering a large scale marketing and PR campaign to ensure that the offer reaches beyond those naturally engaged in tree planting to a wider proportion of the population, and that they are supported in how to plant trees giving advice to people on right tree and right place.

Procurement Information

There are no other organisations with the ability and expertise to distribute trees to people across the country, organise volunteers to support people in planting them, and also provide options for people to have a tree planted on their behalf. The Woodland Trust are the only organisation that can deliver every aspect of this campaign in Wales, because they are the only organisation with the existing supply lines, the ability to set up enough distribution hubs, and the expertise required for both pre and post guidance for the tree planting itself, as well as being able to mobilise volunteers to support the campaign. The Woodland Trust are also currently running a large tree giveaway called the 'Big Climate Fightback', and the opportunity to build upon this initiative will improve value for money of this project, and increase the reach beyond what any other organisation can hope to achieve.
