## Summary

The Forestry Commission has completed the award stage for a framework agreement titled "Oak Processionary Moth Control Services Framework," specifically designed to address the control of the Oak Processionary Moth (OPM) in the forestry sector. The framework, valued at £4,000,000, will run from 1st February 2025 to 31st January 2029 and includes services such as chemical spraying and manual nest removal, delivered by certified operators. The agreement covers multiple geographical areas across the South East of the United Kingdom and is divided into 18 Lots, with up to 5 suppliers designated per Lot. This open procedure concluded its tender period on 23rd December 2024.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses within the forestry services sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which are explicitly noted as suitable competitors. Companies with expertise in pest control, chemical application, and emergency response services are well-placed to benefit. Awarded suppliers include Advanced Tree Services, The F A Bartlett Tree Expert Co Ltd, and Euroforest Ltd, illustrating a market demand for both SME and larger-scale forestry service providers. Businesses capable of offering specialised pest control solutions and emergency response capabilities can leverage this framework to expand their market presence and secure long-term contracts.
