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 Hertfordshire. The work supports better consideration of non-designated heritage assets in woodland creation proposals. It is a data services requirement involving the collection, creation and improvement of information relevant to heritage and forestry planning. Delivery is focused on Hertfordshire, England, and the buying organisation is the Forestry Commission. The requirement was arranged as a single service package, covering the Hertfordshire area rather than separate geographical or service lots. Businesses with experience in heritage data, spatial information, forestry planning evidence or similar datasets would recognise the subject matter and intended public-sector use.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hertfordshire County Council. It used a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown” in the procurement record, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 2 June 2026 and runs from 8 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £29,586 excluding VAT, or £35,503 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active and the award is also active. The purchasing requirement was evaluated as a services procurement, with data services identified for the awarded work. The selected supplier is a large public-sector organisation, and the contract covers the creation and enhancement of the Hertfordshire SHINE dataset for woodland creation proposals.

This award indicates demand for specialist heritage and environmental data services supporting woodland creation decisions in Hertfordshire. A credible future competitor would need to create, enhance and quality-assure structured datasets, understand non-designated heritage assets and translate evidence into information usable in planning or land-management proposals. Relevant capability could include heritage research, geographic or spatial data management, database development, data validation and clear documentation for public-sector users. Experience of working with forestry, landscape, archaeology or planning information would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage a defined local-area dataset and work to public-sector standards for accuracy, traceability and consistency, while demonstrating capacity to deliver a complete data service rather than isolated research tasks.
