Summary of the contracting process

North York Moors National Park Authority is procuring forestry and woodland-restoration services at Morra Head Farm, Harwood Dale. The work is to restock three hectares of clear-felled land with native broadleaf woodland, at a planting density of 1,100 stems per hectare. This is a single-lot requirement, with the detailed work set out in a work schedule. Delivery is at Morra Head Farm in Harwood Dale. Suppliers with experience in woodland planting and restoration, particularly in environmentally sensitive landscapes, are the most directly relevant. The requirement combines practical tree-planting work with an expectation that the contractor understands the brief and can complete the work within the specified programme.

The Authority invited offers through an open procedure, and the process reached the tender stage. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 11 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 30 November 2026 to 26 February 2027, with bids required to remain valid for 150 days. The estimated value for the single lot is £15,000. Evaluation gives 60% to price and 40% to quality: experience working in sensitive landscapes carries 16%, while completing the work within the timescale, understanding the brief, carbon policy and references each carry 6%. Variants are not permitted. The stated evaluation factors make both competitive pricing and evidence of relevant delivery experience important.

This opportunity is suited to contractors able to deliver native broadleaf woodland restocking at a defined scale and within a short, scheduled programme. Relevant experience in sensitive landscapes is the most heavily weighted quality consideration, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate suitable past work and provide references. Bidders will also need to show a clear understanding of the work brief and address their carbon policy. The requirement is a focused, single-site planting project rather than a broad multi-site programme, making it relevant to specialist forestry, woodland creation and habitat-restoration businesses with the operational capacity to mobilise for the specified work period. Price has the largest individual evaluation share, alongside the combined quality criteria.
