UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London is procuring major habitat restoration services in Epping Forest, covering Epping Thicks, Long Running and Trueloves. The requirement is described as Lot 1 of the 2026 FM2-3 works under an existing agreement, with delivery to be completed in accordance with the contract documentation. The procurement is categorised as services and the item classification identifies forest inventory services (CPV 77231400). This is environmental and woodland management work for the City of London, rather than a general construction requirement. Businesses suited to the opportunity would typically provide practical habitat restoration and forest management services, including work involving woodland surveys, habitat condition and related forest inventory activity. The named buyer is the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition mini-competition. It comprised one lot. Aztech Group South East Ltd was selected for the lot, with an active contract signed on 30 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 9 October 2026 and has a gross value of £42,030. The tender is recorded as complete, while the resulting contract is recorded as active. The award covers the forest inventory services associated with the habitat restoration requirement. The process was run through limited competition under the relevant UK legal basis, with the requirement linked to an existing agreement. The published outcome therefore identifies both the selected supplier and the agreed contract value and delivery period.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for woodland and habitat restoration services within Epping Forest, delivered across several named sites for the City of London. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in habitat restoration and woodland management, supported by the ability to carry out forest inventory or related ecological survey work. Suppliers should be able to interpret detailed contract documentation, plan and deliver work across multiple sites, and manage a concentrated programme of field activity to the required standard. Experience of working for public authorities or within an existing agreement would be relevant to competing through a limited-competition route. The selected supplier’s success indicates that the buyer values an established, capable contractor able to combine survey-related services with practical environmental works.
