Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission, represented by Forestry England, has recently awarded a contract for the supply and delivery of Christmas trees across England. The procurement process, initiated as a tender under the open procedure, resulted in multiple lots being cancelled. However, active awards were made for the northern and southern regions to Harburn Estate. The contract values were £207,669 for Northern England and £140,960 for Southern England. The buying organisation, Forestry England, identified pot grown Christmas trees as part of the contract, catering to the Northern, North East, and North West regions of England.

Small or medium enterprises (SMEs) can find avenues for growth by supplying Christmas trees to public sites across England. The contract presents a chance for businesses focusing on seasonal products, delivery services, and environmental sustainability to engage with a reputable governmental body. As the awarded contracts indicate, successful bidders like Harburn Estate positioned themselves well in the tender process, showcasing the potential for niche suppliers to secure business with public authorities.
