## Summary

The North York Moors National Park Authority is overseeing a tender for forestry work at Morra Head Farm, Harwood Dale, under the procurement process ID MT235182. This tender involves the clear felling of 3 hectares of a Sitka spruce plantation, as well as the thinning of 3.2 hectares of a mixed Scots pine/Sitka plantation. It falls under the industry category of agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services. The open procedure, classified as below threshold, is being used. The project is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, with a contract value estimated at £25,000. Key dates include the tender period ending on 25th August 2025 at 17:00, and the intended contract period running from 15th September 2025 to 20th October 2025.

This tender provides a promising opportunity for businesses in the forestry sector, particularly those specialising in timber harvesting and forest management. Given the open procurement method and suitability for small and medium enterprises, companies with expertise in managing similar projects and those capable of offering competitive pricing for the timber will find this opportunity advantageous. Furthermore, the involvement with a public authority such as the North York Moors National Park Authority may enhance a company’s portfolio and provide future business growth opportunities through continued collaborations.

## Notice

This contract will be for the following works: Cpt 1: clear fell 3 ha of Sitka spruce plantation (55 years old) Cpt 2: thinning of a more open, mixed Scots pine/Sitka 3.2 ha plantation (30 years old). Around 1 ha of cpt 1 blew down in Storm Darragh. The North York Moors National Park Authority are facilitating the contract, which will be with the owners of Morra Head Farm, so I'd like to know a total cost for the harvesting work and what price you'll offer for the timber. The Authority are funding the replanting and the fencing and hop0efully the harvesting part will cover its own costs.
