## Summary

The Forestry Commission is seeking to establish a framework agreement for the "South District Surveying Framework" aimed at acquiring surveying services within the forestry sector. This procurement falls within the open procedure method and is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 13 June 2019. The project encompasses work throughout the Public Forest Estate in South England, addressing various forest surveys to maintain updated sub-compartment records. The total contract value is estimated at £500,000, with a minimum value of £100,000, and it is slated for a contract duration from 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in surveying and forestry services, as the Forestry Commission emphasises suitability for such operators. Prospective bidders should possess relevant expertise in forest mensuration and survey operations, which are essential for contributing effectively to the ongoing programme of surveys. Engaging in this contract could not only enhance the business capabilities of involved contractors but also foster long-term relationships with the Forestry Commission within the public sector.

## Notice

The Forestry Commission will be awarding a framework agreement for survey work undertaken using B6 plots in accordance with the Forest Mensuration Handbook 2013 (blue book). The South England Forest District undertakes a range of Forest Surveys throughout the year on the Public Forest Estate in order to maintain the sub-compartment records up to date to inform the district when building market plans and harvesting programmes. The District has an ongoing programme of surveys based on our working blocks system. Most of this work is carried out by our own woodland surveyor and this framework aims to engage contractors to aid in the delivery of the rest of this programme of work. 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.
