The tender period ended on 31st July 2023, with the contract period starting on 13th August 2023 and ending on 12th August 2025.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the services industry, particularly those involved in law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) organisations are well-suited to compete. Businesses interested in innovative environmental finance solutions for woodland establishment and management in England should consider participating in this tender process.

## Notice

As part of our strategic approach we have been assessing opportunities to make better use of the range of payments for ecosystem services that are available for woodland establishment and management in particular. As government guidance on these payments has developed we wish to assess how we as Englands Community Forests make the best use of these emerging opportunities. Whilst we have a range of experience in for example the use of carbon funding and biodiversity net gain we do not have any tools to assess options nor to look at how stacking and bundling of grants PES and sales of timber and traditional non-timber forest products can be assessed. Please refer to The Chest www.the-chest.org.uk for the tender documents.
