Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission has completed the procurement process titled "Wooden Marbles," aimed at procuring goods under the industry category of musical instruments, sport goods, games, toys, handicraft, art materials, and accessories. This process took place in Bristol, UK, at the sub-central level of government authority. The tender, identified as FCCN003855, falls under a below-threshold procurement method and was fully completed with the contract commencing on 27th June 2025 and concluding on 31st December 2025. This award was part of the initiative to provide wooden marbles for features at Alice Holt Forest, with key dates including the contract signing on 25th June 2025.

This tender presents a business opportunity that could foster growth for enterprises specialising in crafting or supplying materials in the toy and game sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises, particularly those skilled in producing niche or eco-friendly play materials, such as wooden marbles, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The awarded contract, valued at £49,400 (gross £59,280), was won by Green Play Project Ltd, exemplifying the potential for SMEs to engage in government contracts for product supply within specific domains.
