Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission, a sub-central government public authority based in Bristol, has initiated a framework agreement for the supply of wire fencing materials across various locations in England. Under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, this procurement process follows an open procedure designed to maximize competitive bidding within the boundaries of the government procurement policy. The procurement stage has now advanced to the award phase, with TORNADO WIRE LIMITED, a supplier from Perthshire, poised to secure the contract valued at £1,500,000, preceding the contract period commencing on 29 September 2025 and running until 28 September 2029. Key geographical regions covered include the North East, Midlands, and South East of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers numerous opportunities for SMEs, particularly those dealing in fencing components and materials, to engage in a stable, long-term supply contract with a prominent government entity. With a focus on decisive criteria such as price, quality, and social value, this procurement process invites businesses capable of producing high-quality goods at competitive prices. The framework agreement also holds prospects for firms capable of adapting to direct awards, encouraging businesses familiar with government contracts to refine their offerings in alignment with stipulated requirements for potential future participation.
