This procurement, classified under the services category, aims to analyse the import trade of controlled timber from the EU to Great Britain, particularly in the context of a potential 'no deal' Brexit scenario. The tender is currently at the open stage, with a closing date for submissions set for 7th January 2019, and the contract period expected to commence on 21st January 2019, lasting until 28th February 2019. The estimated value of the contract ranges between £20,000 and £30,000, making it an accessible opportunity for interested organisations. This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms, especially those specialising in trade analysis, forestry, and environmental services. Businesses engaged in sectors related to wood products, import compliance, and phytosanitary regulations would be particularly well-suited to compete. With the potential changes to import regulations post-Brexit, firms that can demonstrate expertise in the controlled trade of timber and related documentation processes will find this contract especially relevant for expansion and partnership opportunities with the Forestry Commission. ## Notice The Forestry Commission England will be awarding a contract for trade analysis of EU - GB controlled wood, wood products and bark import under an EU Exit 'no deal' scenario. The purpose of this requirement is to identify the point of entry (POE) and quantify the number of consignments and volume of trade of controlled timber (wood, wood products and bark) currently being imported (plant passported) from the European Union to Great Britain (GB). This insight will better inform the Forestry Commission, on plant passported material currently being imported. This is important because if the UK exits the EU under a 'no deal' scenario, this trade will need phytosanitary certificates and associated documentary and identity checks that are currently unrequired. Additional information: Please send all expressions of interest and clarification questions to nina.menichino@forestrycommission.gov.uk by 5pm Monday 7th January 2019. All documentation must also be downloaded by this time and date. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f560430a-f4c2-48ea-b88d-4e13f604e3ef | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Jan 2019 - 28 Feb 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FORESTRY COMMISSION | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 7AT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Corstorphine/Murrayfield | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 03411000 - Coniferous wood - 03412000 - Tropical wood - 03413000 - Fuel wood - 03414000 - Rough wood - 03415000 - Softwood - 03416000 - Wood waste - 03418100 - Hardwood - 03419100 - Timber products - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2018 at 09:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f560430a-f4c2-48ea-b88d-4e13f604e3ef ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f560430a-f4c2-48ea-b88d-4e13f604e3ef 14th December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e90e79c7-11f1-40c3-95f7-71974750783e Invitation to Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/88f023f0-edd8-47dd-8066-b62cfe28308d Report Specification - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/29096ebb-dc9e-4628-872b-7413cd643eb5 Pricing Schedule ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
