Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission has announced a procurement process for a Plant Health Forestry Inspection Services Framework covering South-East and South-Central England. This tender, issued under the CPV classification 77231200 for forest pest control services, seeks to protect Britain's woodlands and trees from harmful pests and diseases by inspecting controlled wood, wood packaging, wood products, and isolated bark entering Great Britain. The procurement method is an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 11th November 2024. The contract, worth £300,000, is set to run for 1440 days with potential renewal upon expiry, covering key locations such as Poole, Southampton, Portsmouth, Shoreham, South-of-the-Thames, Dover, North-of-the-Thames, Felixstowe, and Harwich.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in pest control, forestry services, and wood products inspection. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in particular may find this contract conducive for growth, given the framework's focus on forest pest control and the regional spread across multiple high-traffic ports and locations in England. The open procedure ensures fair competition, and potential suppliers should have robust capabilities in handling wood and packaging materials and be proficient in forest health management. This framework contract not only promises steady business but also allows companies to contribute to preserving the environmental health of the country's woodlands.
