UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission commissioned services to create and enhance the SHINE dataset for low-sensitivity areas in Gloucestershire, England. The work supports the consideration of non-designated heritage assets in woodland creation proposals. In practical terms, the requirement concerns heritage-related data services: building and improving a dataset that can inform woodland creation planning and help identify heritage interests outside designated sites. Delivery is focused on Gloucestershire, with the Forestry Commission as the public sector buyer. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are organisations able to collect, assess, structure and improve heritage or geographic data for use in land-use and environmental decision-making, particularly where woodland creation proposals need better information about historic assets.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Gloucestershire County Council. It used a below-threshold route described as unknown, with one completed lot. The award is active. The award date was 1 June 2026, when the contract was signed. The contract runs from 8 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £49,824 excluding VAT, or £59,789 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process that resulted in the award, but the published outcome does not set out the evaluation criteria. The selected supplier is a large organisation, and the contract is classified as data services. The buyer is the Forestry Commission.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers working in heritage data, archaeological information, geographic information, environmental planning or woodland creation support. A credible competitor for a future requirement from the Forestry Commission would need to show that it can create and enhance structured datasets, handle information about non-designated heritage assets, and present reliable evidence for use in woodland creation proposals. Experience of working across local authority and national public-sector environments would be relevant, as the selected provider is Gloucestershire County Council. Suppliers should also be able to work at county scale, turn specialist heritage information into practical planning data, and demonstrate dependable data quality, documentation and collaboration with public bodies.
