Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission has initiated a planning process for a procurement titled "Cycle Trail Framework," focusing on the construction and civil engineering industry category. This planned procurement, outlined in a pipeline notice published on 21st May 2026, aims to establish a framework agreement for cycle trail works across various regions in the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement is at the planning stage, with a future notice scheduled for 30th October 2026 and the contractual framework expected to commence on 31st January 2027, running until 30th January 2031. The procurement method involves a framework agreement, allowing for multiple contractors to be engaged over the period.

This upcoming tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and civil engineering work, particularly those with experience in infrastructure and trail development. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive construction services will find this framework promising for expanding their operations across multiple UK regions. Given the breadth of geographical locations covered, firms with regional networks or those looking to expand their territorial reach are well-positioned to leverage this procurement process. Engaging with this framework can provide long-term business growth and establish ongoing partnerships with a prominent public authority like the Forestry Commission.
