Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process overseen by Cheshire West and Chester Council is focused on a project titled "Forest Creation 1," which involves forest creation tasks across three lots. This project falls under the "works" industry category, particularly landscaping work, within the United Kingdom, specifically the UKD6 region. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with contracts signed on 14th October 2025. The process employed a limited procurement method, designed for below-threshold, limited competition. The performance period for the contracts runs from 22nd October 2025 to 31st December 2028.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping and forestry work. SMEs such as Tomorrows Forests Limited and TILHILL FORESTRY LIMITED have secured active contracts, indicating that the project favours smaller enterprises capable of delivering specialised environmental and landscaping services. The nature of the work offers considerable scope for businesses focused on sustainable development and forest management to establish or expand their services within the public sector, particularly in regions prioritising environmental projects. Therefore, businesses with expertise in forestry, landscaping, and environmental conservation stand to benefit from participating in similar procurement opportunities.
