Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission recently completed a procurement process titled "Project K: Creating SHINE data for Low Sensitivity Areas in England - Hertfordshire." The project is part of the services category and focuses on enhancing the SHINE dataset for low sensitivity areas, improving the consideration of non-designated heritage assets in proposals for woodland creation. This initiative took place in Hertfordshire, with Hertfordshire County Council serving as the supplier. The procurement process was conducted below the threshold, employing a method of procurement that remains unspecified. The contract was signed on 2nd June 2026, commenced on 8th June 2026, and is set to conclude by 31st March 2027.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in data services, particularly those focused on heritage preservation and environmental planning. Enterprises with expertise in creating and managing spatial datasets, and those capable of delivering high-quality data services, would find themselves well-suited to engage in such projects. Collaborations with public authorities can lead to more such projects, providing both relevant experience and potential growth in the public sector. The involvement of a major entity like the Forestry Commission underscores the credibility and potential for expanding a company's portfolio through such procurement opportunities.
