Summary of the contracting process

The National Forest Company, a central government public authority, has awarded a contract titled "Tree Planting Evaluation and ECF Portal". This procurement process falls under the industry category of research services and is located in several regions across the United Kingdom, specifically UKF13, UKF22, and UKG24. The contract, awarded through a limited procurement method for services, involves the collection and cleaning of planting data in GIS form. The purpose is to run various models for carbon, ecology networks, air quality, water quality, water flow, and access to nature, estimate the benefits, and produce a summarised report. Key dates include a contract signing on 7th July 2026, and active service delivery is scheduled to conclude by 30th November 2026.

This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses engaged in environmental data analysis and research services to expand their portfolio by contributing to national environmental objectives. The requirement for modelling and evaluation of ecological data may particularly interest large-scale service providers with expertise in geographic information systems, carbon tracking, and environmental impact studies. Businesses capable of delivering sophisticated data-driven insights stand to benefit significantly from participation in similar government projects focused on environmental enhancement and sustainability.
