## Summary

The Forestry Commission, based in Bristol, is seeking proposals for a framework agreement titled "Control of Tree and Plant Pests including Chemical Spraying Services - England". This procurement falls under the forestry services category and is currently at the tender stage. The deadline for submissions is 11th February 2020. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2020 and will conclude on 31st March 2024, using an open procedure for the procurement method.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental management, pest control, and chemical application services. Companies that excel in providing invasive species control, particularly those with certified operators trained in using various chemical application methods, would be well-placed to compete. As SMEs are encouraged to participate, this could be a gateway for smaller enterprises to develop their portfolios in public sector contracts.
