## Summary

The Forestry Commission is conducting a public procurement process titled "GB-Pickering: MTB Trail Design, Construction & Maintenance", which involves designing, constructing, and maintaining mountain bike trails and skills parks across its estate in England. This framework, estimated to be valued at approximately £2,000,000, is currently in the Award stage following the completion of the Tender period, which ended on 5 January 2016. The contract is set to commence on 18 January 2016 and will run for four years, concluding on 15 January 2021. The procurement process followed an open method, allowing a broad participation from interested suppliers.

This tender can offer substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction and outdoor recreational facilities, particularly small or medium enterprises (SMEs). Companies that specialise in civil engineering, landscape design, or outdoor recreational services would find this procurement appropriate given its large-scale nature and the focus on MTB trail development and maintenance. Furthermore, the division of the framework into multiple lots presents a chance for smaller firms to engage in specific segments of the project, enabling them to grow through this significant public contract.
