Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Ground Preparation and Grass Sowing" was spearheaded by the Forestry Commission, a sub-central government public authority based in Bristol, United Kingdom. This contracting process, identified with ID 051580-2025, falls under the industry category of services, specifically forestry services, and pertains to the Award stage. This procurement involved stump removal, ground preparation, and sowing with seed, with the contract commencing on 13 August 2025 and concluding on 31 March 2026. The process followed a procurement method described as "Below threshold - unknown," indicating it was not an open tender call, but a more targeted approach was applied.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for growth for businesses within the forestry service sector, particularly those focused on land management and landscaping services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like JOHN HARDING AND SON LIMITED, which successfully secured the contract, stand to benefit from such opportunities due to the specific nature of the work required. The project's demand for expertise in ground preparation and environmental conservation-related services makes it an ideal prospect for businesses with experience and specialisation in these areas, paving the way for further contracts in similar public sector projects. Businesses located within the United Kingdom, especially those equipped with the requisite resources and skills, would be well-suited to compete in tenders of this nature.
