Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Community Woodland Enabling Framework 2024". This framework aims to purchase the services of a non-governmental organisation to act as a broker between NRW and community groups holding Long-Term Agreements on the NRW Estate. The tender focuses on the industry category of "Other community, social and personal services" and has a total value of £350,000. Key activities will include supporting existing community groups and setting up initiatives in disadvantaged areas. An upcoming supplier engagement session is scheduled for Thursday, 3rd October at 13:00, with the framework expected to be advertised around 31st January 2025. The procurement method will cater to both existing agreements and new initiatives across Wales, predominantly within the region of UKL.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in community development, forest management, and environmental services. Organisations proficient in policy work, project setup, and support in disadvantaged areas are especially well-suited to compete. By securing this framework, businesses can enhance their portfolios, collaborate with a regional body, and contribute to long-term community projects across Wales. Both experienced NGOs and new entrants looking to expand their service offerings in community engagement and environmental sustainability can benefit significantly from this opportunity.

Notice Title

Community Woodland Enabling Framework 2024

Notice Description

We have many permissions on the NRW Estate. Most are for recreation and are short term, like fliming, surveys or events. We also have 36 Longer Term Agreements, across Wales, with community focussed groups, that hold agreements with NRW to manage small bits of land to carry out activities that are beneficial to the local community. These agreements are always for longer than 12 months and range from 3-25 years, mainly on the WGWE. This document sets out the requirement to set up a framework to purchase the services of a nongovernmental organisation to run a service and to act as broker between NRW and community groups with existing Longer Term Agreements on the NRW estate. And to give support to any new groups wanting to set up a new agreement. Services may include work on policy or setting up proactive projects in disadvantaged areas. Level of service can be added or removed depending on requirements and budget constraints As well as supporting the Longer Term Agreement holders the contract holder/s will support NRW staff to safely and positively manage Longer Term Agreements on the NRW Estate. Ensure the Longer Term Agreement holders are UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS) compliant and understand what Forest Standard Certificate (SFC) means to NRW, and therefore to them
