## Summary

The North York Moors National Park Authority is facilitating an open procurement process titled "High Cow Helm & High Ellermire, Bilsdale," aimed at forestry works including the felling of larch and thinning of Scots pine. This process is under an open procedure and falls below the threshold, suitable for works in the agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services category (CPV: 77000000). This project is based in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. The tender process is active as of 18th December 2025, with the tender period closing on 12th January 2026. The contract period is set from 2nd March 2026 to 30th September 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry and timber harvesting. SMEs are particularly encouraged to apply, given their suitability noted in the tender. Companies that can demonstrate competence in delivering economically viable solutions for timber harvesting and have experience in similar forestry projects will find this contract advantageous for business growth. Interested parties should consider the potential access to grant funding to support the economic viability if harvesting costs surpass timber value, as anticipated by the Authority. This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio within the forestry sector.

## Notice

This contract will be for the following works: Cpt 1a & 1b: fell larch, thin Scots pine (55 years old) Cpt 2: clear fell larch (55 years old, though looks much younger). The North York Moors National Park Authority are facilitating the contract, which will be with the owners of High Cow Helm (1a & 2) & High Ellermire (1b), so I'd like to know a total cost for the harvesting work and what price you'll offer for the timber. The Authority can use grant funding to ensure the scheme is economically viable for both contractor and owner if the harvesting costs exceed the timber value, as seems likely.
