## Summary

The Newcastle City Council is seeking contractors for the Community Forest Project, an initiative aimed at enhancing biodiversity and revitalising green spaces across the North East of England, covering regions such as Newcastle, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, and Sunderland. The project, which is part of a 30-year programme, has a contract value of £99,000 with a minimum value of £25,000, structured under an open procurement method. The tender period concluded on 14 January 2022, with the contract commencing on 1 February 2022 and continuing until 31 January 2023.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in landscaping, ecological services, and environmental management. Companies that specialise in agricultural and horticultural products or have expertise in community forestry are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this project not only supports local environmental initiatives but also opens up avenues for further work in similar community-based projects, bolstering the reputation and reach of participating firms.

## Notice

The NECF (North East Community Forest) covers Newcastle, Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland and the more urban areas of County Durham. The Community Forest programme in England has been running for 30 years. Forming a network across England, the Forests work in diverse areas with low tree and woodland cover and where social, economic and environmental issues can be tackled through community forestry. They aim to regenerate areas, creating high quality environments by revitalising derelict land, providing new opportunities for recreation, education, enhancing biodiversity, responding to climate change and supporting healthy living and economic development. The newly formed NECF is a 30-year, multi-million pound project that will see tens of thousands of trees planted in the region. It is supported by a partnership of local authorities, combined authorities, charities and other organisations. The contract opportunity is available on our E-Tendering website the NEPO Portal at www.nepoportal.org
