Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales has engaged an open procurement process for their Forest Surveys Framework spanning from 2026 to 2030. This procurement effort includes services related to forestry and agriculture across eight geographical areas in Wales, divided into two distinct lots: Lot A covers Crop Survey (Clearfells & Pre-thin) & Crop Attribute Surveys, while Lot B focuses on Tree Planting Density Surveys. The framework involves a maximum of three suppliers per lot per area, who are ranked to ensure service delivery based upon the predetermined scoring matrix. The initiative promises a robust structure supported by Welsh devolved regulations, emphasising the need for precise data collection and certification standards, with the contract period scheduled to begin on April 1, 2026, and concluding on March 31, 2028, with optional extensions lasting until 2030.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry surveys or related services. Such organisations, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that align with the framework's requirements, can benefit from the anticipated scale and sustained implementation over four years. The involvement of VCSEs (voluntary, community and social enterprises) is also encouraged. Given the structured ranking of suppliers and the potential spread across multiple geographical locations, the framework allows diligent suppliers to secure ongoing business, fostering skills development and enhancing market presence in the forestry services industry in the United Kingdom.
