This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, following the publication of an early engagement notice on 25 November 2021. A key milestone in this process is the engagement end date set for 16 December 2021. The focus is on delivering insights aimed at enhancing the experiences of young people aged 0-25 at Bedgebury Pinetum and Westonbirt Arboretum in England. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in research and consultancy services, to engage in a project that seeks to deepen the understanding of young people's needs and expectations. Companies that are agile and capable of providing innovative insights and strategies tailored to education and engagement for young audiences will be well-suited to compete. The Forestry Commission encourages interested parties to register their interest and provide feedback to shape the forthcoming procurement exercise expected to launch in December 2021 or January 2022. ## Notice Forestry England are looking to develop a shared Strategy for Young People that brings together the unique assets of our two collections at Bedgebury Pinetum and Westonbirt Arboretum to deliver a shared offer for young people (0-25) that creates experiences bespoke to the aspirations, needs and expectations of young people today. To do this, we are looking for a supplier to help us to develop a deeper understanding of our potential to support young people both within formal education and non-formal settings through their journey to adulthood. We aim to commission an insights project to develop a deeper and richer understanding of young people; what they, and the organisations that work with them, need and want from us. Coupled with this we want to know our 'place' within the botanic garden education network both nationally and internationally so that we can tailor our programmes accordingly. Additional information: Forestry England are currently scoping our requirements to ensure that the specification of requirements and future tender documentation accurately reflects the offerings of the market. We invite companies from the market to register their interest in this future requirement and provide feedback on potential clarifications on the feasibility of our emerging plans. We intend to publish a procurement exercise for this requirement December 2021/January 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf290678-f491-44fb-8d65-07e9c18566c1 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 16 Dec 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FORESTRY COMMISSION | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS16 1EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73210000 - Research consultancy services ## Release History - 25 Nov 2021 at 13:31 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf290678-f491-44fb-8d65-07e9c18566c1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf290678-f491-44fb-8d65-07e9c18566c1 25th November 2021 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9f56bda8-205b-455f-8f5a-8b3ce9fadd9f Attached is a summary of Forestry England's future requirements.
