Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Forestry Commission, pertains to a contracting opportunity titled "Visitor Insights Survey." This project involves the delivery of visitor experience surveys across 27 forest sites, with the main industry category being services, specifically survey services. The procurement took place in Bristol, UK, under the legal framework UKPGA 2023/54, and has reached the award and contract stages, with the contract now active. The procurement was conducted through a 'below threshold - unknown' method and officially commenced with a signed contract on 20th May 2025. The contract runs from 15th September 2025 to 31st December 2026 and was recently associated with key documentation released on 16th June 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in survey services, especially smaller enterprises like SMEs, given that the procurement process was below threshold. The Forestry Commission, a sub-central public authority, has chosen XV Insight Ltd., a SME based in Leamington Spa, as the supplier, potentially encouraging similar businesses to compete for future contracts. This type of procurement is particularly suitable for companies with expertise in conducting extensive surveys and data analysis, providing a chance not only to secure revenue but also to build a strong client relationship within the public sector.
