Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is conducting pre-tender market engagement for its planned "NRW Arboricultural, Chainsaw and Tree Safety Framework". This initiative focuses on the provision of services in the forestry management industry, specifically arboriculture and chainsaw operations. Located across Wales, the process is currently in the planning stage, with key online webinars scheduled for 25th March and 8th April 2025 to present the framework details. NRW invites interested contractors to attend these sessions and later participate in one-on-one meetings slated for April. The framework, valued at £8,000,000, aims to streamline procurement processes and gather valuable contractor feedback.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in forestry management and related services. Companies specializing in arboricultural services and chainsaw operations are particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this pre-tender process allows businesses to gain detailed insights into NRW's procurement approach, ensuring preparedness for future formal tenders. The extensive pre-tender engagement, including webinars and one-on-one meetings, provides an excellent platform for businesses to establish connections with NRW and tailor their services to meet the specific requirements of the upcoming framework agreement.
