Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Bedgebury and Wendover Cleaning Contracts" was initiated and managed by the Forestry Commission, acting through Forestry England. This procurement, classified under the cleaning services industry category, covers two locations: Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest in Kent, and Wendover Woods in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Oxfordshire. The process was conducted as an open procedure, adhering to the legal basis of the European Union directive 2014/24/EU. While the procurement stage is now complete, with awards made on the 13th and 29th of May 2025, key stages included an initial tender released at the start of the year and a submission deadline on the 24th of February 2025. The procurement was designed to cover a total service value of £425,000, split into two lots, although the tender for some specific services was eventually cancelled.

This tender, offering substantial opportunities within the cleaning services sector, particularly benefits large-scale cleaning service companies capable of handling extensive operations in forest and woodland environments. With an open procurement method, the tender provided equal chances for all interested suppliers, encouraging competitive pricing and innovation. The contracts have been awarded to Calibre Cleaning Ltd for Bedgebury and aAFD Cleaning for Wendover, indicating that businesses operating with large resource capability and experience in managing extensive outdoor cleaning projects would be well-suited to compete in such procurements. Opportunities of this nature foster growth by enabling service providers to expand into niche public sector contracts, establishing credibility and enhancing their portfolio.
