UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission procured services to facilitate, promote and distribute funding for young people aged 17 to 30 to undertake basic-level deer training. The requirement combines deer-training provision with the administration and promotion of a funding offer for eligible participants. The service is classed as education and training. The buyer is the Forestry Commission, a sub-central public authority based in Bristol. The procurement concerns a single requirement, rather than separately described service areas. The stated purpose is to support access to introductory deer-training opportunities for young people, so relevant organisations are likely to include training providers and bodies able to manage or promote funded participation in this specialist field. The supplier selected was BASC Limited, based in Wrexham.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure described as unknown. It had one lot. BASC Limited was awarded the service and the related contract is active. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, runs from 20 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £50,000 gross. The award is for services and relates to education and training. The contracting process is below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies BASC Limited as the sole awarded supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement route recorded by the Forestry Commission; the available outcome records the procedure and service category but does not set out separate quality, price or technical scoring criteria. The contract therefore represents a completed award rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement indicates demand from the Forestry Commission for a supplier able to combine basic deer-training expertise with practical funding administration, promotion and distribution. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can reach and support young people aged 17 to 30, manage an eligibility-based funding offer, and coordinate participation in introductory training. Relevant evidence would include experience delivering or arranging deer training, suitable trainers and learning arrangements, reliable administration of applications and funding, and the ability to promote the offer to the intended age group. Organisations with established links to deer management, rural education, land-based training or relevant participant networks may be well placed, provided they can also handle the programme’s coordination and reporting demands for a public-sector buyer.
