This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government has initiated a procurement process for the "Free Tree Giveaway Campaign", aimed at encouraging environmental participation by allowing households across Wales to plant trees as part of the National Forest initiative. This service category tender, which falls under the public services domain, is currently in the award stage. The related contract was signed on 30th November 2021 and is expected to run until 31st March 2023. The total value of the awarded contract stands at £1,333,000. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication due to the unique expertise of the Woodland Trust in tree distribution and community engagement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the environmental and landscaping sectors, particularly those with expertise in forestry, logistics, and community outreach initiatives. Companies involved in sustainable practices, plant nurseries, and public relations can leverage this project to expand their market presence and contribute to local environmental efforts. Given the scope of the campaign, entities capable of offering comprehensive distribution solutions or supporting volunteer coordination are particularly well-suited to compete in this tendering process.

Notice Title

Free Tree Giveaway Campaign

Notice Description

To give all the households of Wales (1.3m) the opportunity to plant a tree either themselves or through community action as their contribution to the National Forest for Wales.

Lot Information

Lot 1

To give all the households of Wales (1.3m) the opportunity to plant a tree either themselves or through community action as their contribution to the National Forest for Wales. All aspects of the Tree for All Campaign to be delivered on behalf of the Welsh Government. Supporting every household in Wales to plant a tree will require not only setting up methods to distribute trees across Wales, but also delivering a large scale marketing and PR campaign to ensure that the offer reaches beyond those naturally engaged in tree planting to a wider proportion of the population, and that they are supported in how to plant trees giving advice to people on right tree and right place.

Procurement Information

There are no other organisations with the ability and expertise to distribute trees to people across the country, organise volunteers to support people in planting them, and also provide options for people to have a tree planted on their behalf. The Woodland Trust are the only organisation that can deliver every aspect of this campaign in Wales, because they are the only organisation with the existing supply lines, the ability to set up enough distribution hubs, and the expertise required for both pre and post guidance for the tree planting itself, as well as being able to mobilise volunteers to support the campaign. The Woodland Trust are also currently running a large tree giveaway called the 'Big Climate Fightback', and the opportunity to build upon this initiative will improve value for money of this project, and increase the reach beyond what any other organisation can hope to achieve.
