UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission procured works to make the Hondslough new woodland creation site operationally ready. The requirement covered construction of a new road and utility crossing points, including associated highway, foundation and surface works. The site had already been purchased and planted, with infrastructure needed to support its future operation. This is a works contract rather than a supply or consultancy requirement. Businesses should therefore have relevant experience in road construction and groundworks, particularly where access infrastructure and utility crossings are required at woodland or other rural development sites. The work is associated with the Forestry Commission’s estate and is delivered at Hondslough, the identified woodland creation site.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot. CLIXBY'S FORESTRY GROUND PREP LIMITED was awarded the contract on 16 June 2026, with the contract signed on the same date. The contract runs from 16 June 2026 to 30 August 2026. Its value is £166,225 excluding VAT, or £199,470 including VAT. The procedure was described as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The award was evaluated as works, covering construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads, and relating to the road and utility crossing requirement. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement indicates demand from the Forestry Commission for specialist site infrastructure supporting new woodland creation. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability in road construction, ground preparation, highway foundations and surface works, together with practical experience of forming utility crossing points. The requirement suits contractors able to deliver physical infrastructure at a planted woodland site and coordinate the different groundworks needed to make a rural operational site usable. A credible future supplier would be expected to demonstrate comparable completed projects, suitably skilled and equipped site teams, and the capacity to manage a compact works package covering access roads and utility interfaces. The incumbent’s SME status also indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist contractor rather than only a major national firm.
