Forestry England is undertaking early market engagement for a proposed infrastructure project at High Lodge Forest Centre (https://www.forestryengland.uk/high-lodge) – one of our flagship visitor sites, attracting over 500,000 visitors annually.

At this stage, we are seeking expressions of interest and feedback from the market on the most suitable procurement approach.
