Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales is seeking to implement a framework agreement covering the period from 2024 to 2028 for Land Management and Forestry Training, with a focus on operator and supervisor training. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically training services (CPV: 80500000). The training will take place in the UKL region. The tender was conducted using an open procedure and is now at the Award stage, with the key agreement signed on 11th November 2024. Six SMEs were successfully awarded contracts to provide operator training, while the lot for supervisor training was cancelled. The overall framework is aimed at ensuring training needs, both for new starters and refresher courses, are consistently met over the agreement period.

This framework creates substantial opportunities for businesses in the training services sector, particularly those with expertise in land management and forestry. SMEs, in particular, can benefit from this since all awarded contracts for operator training went to small and medium-sized enterprises. Potential business growth can be driven by participating in such public procurement contracts, as they provide stable demand and long-term engagement possibilities. Suitable businesses include those with a strong track record in delivering industry-specific training courses, especially those capable of scaling to meet multiple training sessions annually. The framework guarantees a steady revenue stream and the potential to establish lasting partnerships with Natural Resources Wales.
