UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission, located in Bristol, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process concerning the "ASNW and PAWS condition survey" in the Yorkshire Forest District. This project, which falls under the "services incidental to forestry" industry category, involved updating the condition of ancient woodland sites, including Plantations on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS), last assessed in 2014. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract awarded to Enviroscope Consulting Ltd based in York. The limited procurement method was used, with a contract duration from 1st April 2025 to 31st August 2025, and a total contract value of £32,588 gross. The contract was signed on 24th February 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry services and environmental consultancy. Companies with expertise in ecological surveys, woodland management, and environmental restoration will find this contract particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as Enviroscope Consulting Ltd, which succeeded in this tender, are well-suited to compete due to the specific requirements of the forestry services market and the limited competition nature of the procurement method. The project offers substantial insights and data, assisting in long-term strategic woodland management and conservation efforts.
