## Summary

Forestry England, on behalf of the Forestry Commission, is seeking suppliers for a framework agreement to conduct specialist ecological surveys in the South England Forest District. The services required focus on survey, advice, and mitigation options for sites within this district, particularly in the Crown Lands of the New Forest, where various operations may impact rare and/or protected species. This tender falls under the "Survey services" category (CPV 79311000) and follows an open procurement procedure. The tender process is currently active, with submissions due by 27 February 2025 at 12:00 PM GMT. The contract will commence on 14 April 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 13 April 2029, valued at £200,000 GBP.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses with expertise in ecological surveying and the evaluation of impacts on protected species. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as suitability criteria favour these entities. Businesses that can demonstrate a strong track record in providing environmental consultancy and survey services will find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. The extended contract period and significant budget also allow for stable business growth and the establishment of long-term professional relationships with Forestry England.

## Notice

Forestry England have a requirement for a framework for specialist ecological surveys in the South England Forest District (SEFD). The aim of this framework is to secure a resource to provide site-specific survey, advice and/or mitigation options for sites within SEFD (predominantly within the Crown Lands of the New Forest) where standard forestry operations, habitat restoration work, planning applications, buildings maintenance and/or Open Forest management activities may impact on rare and/or protected species. We therefore expect suppliers to have demonstrable experience in surveying and assessing the impacts of these operations on these species groups and habitats. This will be evaluated as part of the tender selection process.
