UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission procured arboricultural services for its Grizedale Arb Support 2026 requirement. The work falls within forestry services (CPV 77200000) and is intended to support arboricultural activity at Grizedale. The Forestry Commission is the buying organisation and is responsible for the requirement. The procurement was arranged as a single service requirement rather than a group of separately described service packages. This opportunity is relevant to businesses providing professional tree work, arboricultural support or wider forestry services, particularly those able to operate at Grizedale and meet the Forestry Commission’s operational requirements. It concerns service delivery, not the supply of goods or construction works, and is focused on arboricultural support within the Forestry Commission’s estate.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to GSARB LIMITED. The award is active and relates to the single lot. The contract was signed on 15 April 2026 and runs from 17 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The procedure was recorded as below threshold, with the specific below-threshold method described as unknown. The tender status is complete. The available outcome shows one selected supplier, GSARB LIMITED, for the forestry services requirement. The contract is active, so the award has moved beyond selection into delivery. No separate award date is recorded for the procurement.

This procurement is useful market evidence for arboricultural and forestry service businesses tracking Forestry Commission requirements at Grizedale. It shows demand for dedicated arboricultural support delivered as a service contract through a below-threshold procurement route. A credible future competitor would need relevant arboricultural or forestry service capability, the operational capacity to work at Grizedale, and the ability to meet the Forestry Commission’s service requirements through a public-sector contract. GSARB LIMITED is identified as an SME supplier, demonstrating that the requirement has been awarded to a small business rather than only to a large national contractor. Businesses with comparable delivery experience and a practical presence in the area can use this procurement to assess their fit for similar requirements from this buyer.
