## Summary

Buckinghamshire Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of woodland creation and maintenance services across multiple identified sites within the county. The contract, valued at £550,000, was awarded to Pryor & Rickett Silviculture Limited on 3rd September 2024. The procurement, classified under CPV code 77310000 for planting and maintenance services of green areas, used an open procedure method. The project, slated to start during the winter season, involves the creation of woodland in compliance with UKFS guidelines and includes maintaining 27,000 newly planted trees. The project duration is initially three years, with the possibility of extending it by two additional years, one year at a time.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry, environmental services, and landscape management. Companies with expertise in large-scale planting and tree maintenance can benefit from this contract. The open procedure used for procurement ensures fair competition, with the quality of services accounting for 40% and cost 60% in the evaluation criteria. SMEs in related industries, particularly those from the UK, have the potential to thrive by participating in similar tenders, leveraging their niche expertise to secure long-term, high-value contracts.
