Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales bought a first-year call-off for orthorectification services from its Orthorectification Service Framework. The work supports the Estate Planning team by validating and correcting tree-species data held for the Welsh Government Woodland Estate in Forester Web and other geographic information systems. The wider requirement covers 69 forest areas, with orthorectification plans validated across the estate. This is a forestry and geospatial data service, involving the checking, correction and management of information used to understand woodland assets. Delivery relates to the Welsh Government Woodland Estate in Wales. The buyer is Natural Resources Wales, a public authority responsible for managing the requirement and using the resulting validated woodland data in its systems.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Geo Smart Decisions Ltd. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, as a call-off from the NRW61768 Orthorectification Service Framework 2026–2030. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026, runs from 9 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is active. Its value is £27,000 excluding VAT, or £32,400 including VAT. The award covers one lot and the first year of the call-off. The framework description indicates that, over its four-year lifetime, around 13 plans may be validated each year, depending on errors, queries and budget. The procurement category is services, classified under forestry services.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers combining orthorectification, geospatial data quality assurance and forestry information management. A credible competitor would need to validate and correct tree-species data across woodland areas, investigate errors and queries, and produce reliable outputs for use in Forester Web and other GIS systems. Experience handling structured spatial data and applying consistent quality-control processes would be important, alongside an understanding of forestry or woodland-estate information. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that delivery is not limited to a large corporate provider. The framework and call-off route also show that Natural Resources Wales buys this specialist capability as a defined service, with work organised around individual plans and estate-wide data validation.
