Summary of the contracting process

Forestry England, on behalf of the Forestry Commission, has updated its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the erection and maintenance of forest fencing across the Forestry England estate, including new woodland creation sites in England. This process, classified under the industry category of forestry services, is open and active with a procurement stage tag of tenderUpdate dated 8th September 2025. The DPS will remain live until 23rd February 2029 and allows for mini-competitions to be held for specific projects. This reflects ongoing opportunities in areas such as permanent deer fencing and rabbit-proof fencing. The primary location for service delivery is within the United Kingdom.

This procurement offers significant business growth potential, especially for small and medium enterprises specialising in forestry services or construction-related capabilities. Companies experienced in erecting various types of protective fencing and interested in long-term collaborations would find this opportunity fitting. With a total estimated contract value of £13 million, the DPS caters to different UK regions, allowing businesses to engage in multiple lots. Suitable businesses can benefit from an electronic bidding process and have the opportunity to become long-term partners with Forestry England in supporting the maintenance and expansion of forested areas in the UK.
