UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission commissioned forestry services at Clipsham: till 20 hectares to create a tilled trace 450mm wide and 300mm deep, at either 2-metre or 4-metre spacings as directed by the Forester. The work is intended to create managed tilled lines or traces within the specified forestry area, with the exact spacing determined on site by the Forestry Commission’s Forester. The buying organisation is the Forestry Commission, a sub-central public authority. The service is classified as forestry services (CPV 77200000). The named supplier is based in Nuneaton, while the requirement is identified as Clipsham Tilling. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering the full requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the lot is complete. The Forestry Commission used a below-threshold route, with the procurement method recorded as unknown. C J Springthorpe Limited was awarded the contract. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date is not stated, but the contract was signed on 24 April 2026. The contract period runs from 27 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The requirement was evaluated through a single lot, with no separate award criteria or eligibility requirements recorded. The contract covers forestry tilling services for the completed Clipsham requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from the Forestry Commission for specialist forestry ground-preparation services involving controlled tilling across a substantial area. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need equipment capable of creating consistent traces 450mm wide and 300mm deep, with the flexibility to work at either 2-metre or 4-metre spacings. Operational capability would include accurately following a Forester’s site instructions, working efficiently across up to 20 hectares, and managing access and delivery within a forestry environment. Relevant suppliers are likely to be small or specialist land-management and forestry contractors with suitable machinery, experienced operators and practical capacity for time-limited fieldwork. Familiarity with Forestry Commission requirements and safe working in managed woodland would strengthen their position.
