## Summary

The Forestry Commission, acting through Forestry England, has awarded a contract for the design and build of a timber-framed shelter at Westonbirt Arboretum. The contract, valued at £28,800 GBP, falls under the Construction work for commercial buildings, warehouses, and industrial buildings category. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 30th September 2022. The contract period is from 3rd October to 9th December 2022, and the procurement stage is in the award phase.

This tender opportunity for the timber-framed shelter project at Westonbirt Arboretum is well-suited for small or medium enterprises (SMEs) in the construction industry, particularly those with experience in oak frame construction. Businesses interested in contributing to woodland management and conservation projects would find this tender lucrative. The buying organisation, Forestry England, located in Bristol, South West UK, is seeking suppliers to design and build a structure that aligns with the arboretum's architectural style.

## Notice

We will be awarding a contract for the design and build of a new timber framed coppice shelter located in Silk Wood at Westonbirt Arboretum. The new shelter will help us continue the critical programme of woodland management and secure the future of coppicing at Westonbirt. The new shelter will provide cover for our coppicers which will enable them to undertake tasks in all weather and allow them to store materials and products associated with the coppice. The Contractor is required to design and build a new shelter which will be made from timber grown and milled at Westonbirt. The shelter will be similar in style to other buildings at the arboretum such as the Silkwood Barn and the Westonbirt Woodworks. The building will be of oak frame construction, traditionally built with a boarded timber roof. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
