The Forestry Commission, acting through Forestry England, has issued an updated tender for "Direct Production Harvesting" services, focusing on agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services. The tender process is currently in the Tender stage and the deadline for receipt of tenders has been extended to 9 January 2025 at 12:00 PM. This procurement process covers multiple locations across the United Kingdom including North East England, Yorkshire, East Midlands, West Midlands, South East England, and several others, with contracts anticipated to start from April 2025 for a period of five years. The total contract value amounts to approximately £21,000,000 GBP and includes multiple lots, each designated for different districts, ensuring comprehensive coverage across England.
