UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission procured forestry fencing services at Delamere Nursery. The requirement covers planned and prospective rabbit fencing, stock fencing and V-mesh fencing, including construction, repairs and maintenance. The work is intended to protect and manage nursery operations by providing and maintaining fencing suitable for wildlife and livestock-control needs. It falls within forestry services. The buyer is the Forestry Commission, a public authority in central government. This opportunity is relevant to fencing contractors with experience in installing, repairing and maintaining rabbit, stock and V-mesh systems in forestry, nursery or comparable rural environments. The requirement combines new construction with responsive and planned maintenance rather than a single one-off installation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Russell Godwin, whose award is active. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method described as unknown. One lot covered the fencing services. The contract was signed and started on 28 April 2026 and runs to 22 February 2027. Its value is £49,999 excluding VAT, or £59,999 including VAT. The contract can be renewed through annual reviews and extensions, potentially up to 22 February 2031, provided key performance indicator measures are maintained or exceeded. The published outcome identifies forestry services as the awarded category. No price, quality or other detailed evaluation weighting is recorded in the procurement outcome.

This award shows that the Forestry Commission buys a combined fencing capability for a nursery setting: rabbit exclusion, stock control, V-mesh installation, repairs and ongoing maintenance. Competitors would need to demonstrate practical competence across both planned construction and the upkeep of existing fencing, rather than specialising only in one fencing type. Experience working in forestry, woodland, nursery or other rural operational environments would help establish credibility, particularly where fencing must protect sites from animals and remain serviceable over time. The renewal arrangement also indicates that consistent delivery and measurable performance matter to this buyer. A credible future supplier should therefore be able to manage routine work, respond to repair needs, maintain standards and evidence performance against agreed KPIs.
