## Summary

The procurement process is initiated by the Forestry Commission, acting through Forestry England, for a contract titled "Mineral Consultancy Framework." This initiative falls within the environmental consultancy services industry, covering various operational sites across England, aiming to enhance commercial mineral opportunities while balancing environmental conservation. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with the deadline for submissions indicated as 26 April 2022. The estimated value of this framework is £450,000, and the contract period is set to commence on 20 June 2022 and continue until 19 June 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, particularly those with expertise in managing mineral operations in forested areas. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this framework aims to procure competent consultancy services. Businesses focused on environmental impact assessments and sustainable resource management would find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities, allowing them to expand their client base and engagement with local communities.

## Notice

Forestry England have explored and managed mineral operations on the nations forest since it was established and wish to continue to develop commercial mineral opportunities across the estate. This must be undertaken in reasonable balance with wider objectives including the production of timber and the interests of conservation and the environment. In promoting the multiple benefits of forestry, we also seek to take careful account of the needs and wishes of stakeholders, including local communities. This framework covers the whole of England. We currently have more than 40 sites in England, made up of a combination of operational sites worked by Tenants, sites worked under leasehold reservation by Landlords, sites used for landfill and 23 in house quarries. As an increasingly specialised industry, we recognise the need to procure competent professional counsel to aid us in the successful management of these sites.
