This campaign is classified under the "Other community, social and personal services" industry category and is currently in the Award stage following the completion of the tender process. The contract, valued at £1,333,000, was signed on 30th November 2021, with the contract period running from December 2021 to 31st March 2023. The procurement was executed using a limited method, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice due to the specialised expertise required for successful implementation. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, community engagement, or marketing. Companies with the capacity to support the distribution of trees, manage community volunteer efforts, and deliver effective marketing campaigns would be particularly well-suited to compete for related contracts or collaborate with the Woodland Trust, the designated supplier responsible for executing the campaign. The initiative aims to rally community participation and could lead to follow-on opportunities as public interest in environmental sustainability continues to grow. ## Notice To give all the households of Wales (1.3m) the opportunity to plant a tree either themselves or through community action as their contribution to the National Forest for Wales. ### Lot Information Lot 1 To give all the households of Wales (1.3m) the opportunity to plant a tree either themselves or through community action as their contribution to the National Forest for Wales. All aspects of the Tree for All Campaign to be delivered on behalf of the Welsh Government. Supporting every household in Wales to plant a tree will require not only setting up methods to distribute trees across Wales, but also delivering a large scale marketing and PR campaign to ensure that the offer reaches beyond those naturally engaged in tree planting to a wider proportion of the population, and that they are supported in how to plant trees giving advice to people on right tree and right place. ### Procurement Information There are no other organisations with the ability and expertise to distribute trees to people across the country, organise volunteers to support people in planting them, and also provide options for people to have a tree planted on their behalf. The Woodland Trust are the only organisation that can deliver every aspect of this campaign in Wales, because they are the only organisation with the existing supply lines, the ability to set up enough distribution hubs, and the expertise required for both pre and post guidance for the tree planting itself, as well as being able to mobilise volunteers to support the campaign. The Woodland Trust are also currently running a large tree giveaway called the 'Big Climate Fightback', and the opportunity to build upon this initiative will improve value for money of this project, and increase the reach beyond what any other organisation can hope to achieve. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031142-2021 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Dec 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Nov 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £1,333,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WELSH GOVERNMENT | | Locality | CARDIFF | | Post town | Cardiff | | Postcode | CF10 3NQ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL52 Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan | | Local authority | Cardiff | | Electoral ward | Cathays | | Westminster constituency | Cardiff South and Penarth | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | WOODLAND TRUST | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 03 - Agricultural, farming, fishing, forestry and related products - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 03100000 - Agricultural and horticultural products - 03452000 - Trees - 79340000 - Advertising and marketing services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 14 Dec 2021 at 17:14 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031142-2021 ## Notice URLs - http://wales.gov.uk/?skip=1&lang=en - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0007 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
