Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission, a sub-central government public authority based in Bristol, is overseeing the procurement process for the construction of a wash bay at Queen Elizabeth Country Park in South Downs. This project, under the "Construction work" industry category, reached the Award stage on 23rd December 2025. Holstocks Construction Ltd., an SME located in Petersfield, has been awarded the contract, which is valued at £75,867 with the contract period running from 13th November 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement was conducted using a method classified as "Below threshold - unknown" under the legal framework of UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs engaged in construction work to participate in public sector projects, especially those interested in sustainable infrastructure projects within national parks. While the current contract was awarded to Holstocks Construction Ltd., similar projects by the Forestry Commission could benefit small to medium-sized enterprises that specialise in environmental construction, civil engineering, and related sectors. Businesses with a focus on eco-friendly construction solutions and the capability to deliver on government contracts will find this sector an area ripe for growth and partnership.
