## Summary

The procurement process for the "Diseased Ash Felling Framework - West District" was initiated by Forestry England, aiming to establish a framework agreement for mechanised tree felling and timber extraction operations within the West England Forest District. The procurement method applied was an open procedure, and the contract, valued at £350,000, commenced on 19th June 2020 and will extend until 19th June 2024. The tender process has been completed, with the award published on 15th May 2021. This contract covers delivery addresses across the UK and other territories including the British Overseas Territories and Europe.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry services, particularly those capable of mechanised tree felling and timber extraction. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, although venture capital-backed social enterprises (VCSEs) are not deemed suitable for this contract. Given the scale of work involved, large contractors with experience in forestry-related operations would also be well-positioned to compete effectively in this procurement process.
