## Summary

The procurement process involves the DEPARTMENT FOR ENVIRONMENT, FOOD & RURAL AFFAIRS, which is seeking tenders for the construction of a timber-framed Mess Room building as part of the Tree Management Centre project. This procurement falls under the works category and is classified under building construction work (CPV code: 45210000). The tender period is open until 15th May 2015, and bidders are encouraged to express their interest by emailing Sophie Nash. A bidder briefing day was previously held on 30th April 2015 at Westonbirt, Gloucestershire, where potential bidders could familiarise themselves with the site conditions and ask relevant questions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for SMEs and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their portfolio in construction and project management. Companies specialising in timber construction, carpentry, and project execution are well-suited to compete for this project, as there is an additional requirement for engaging and managing volunteers during the build. With a contract value of £100,000, this project not only contributes to community infrastructure but also enables participating businesses to demonstrate their capacity for social engagement and sustainable practices.

## Notice
