## Summary

The Forestry Commission, a sub-central government authority based in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for the "Yorkshire DP Harvesting" service. The tender was issued as a direct award with the award finalised on 22nd April 2025. This procurement activity is centred around forestry services, specifically targeting the Yorkshire region, and involves deploying purpose-built forestry machines. The service operates under the legal framework of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement was initiated on 1st April 2025 and is expected to continue until 31st March 2030, with an awarded contract value of £2,800,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs with expertise in forestry management and operations. Dukes and Sons Forestry Limited, an SME based in Malton, has been engaged as the service provider, illustrating the potential for similar businesses to compete in such direct award scenarios. The contract's requirement for regular motor-manual capability and winch extraction highlights opportunities for businesses specialising in advanced forestry machinery and techniques. Companies in the forestry sector seeking to expand into public sector contracts can view this as a pathway to establish or enhance their service credentials under substantial long-term contracts.

## Notice

We require a Supplier that demonstrates professionalism, experience, and a suitable work profile in Direct Production (DP) Harvesting in Yorkshire. The Commission expects most of the work to be undertaken with purpose-built forestry machines deployed within a short-wood system of working. There is a regular element of motor-manual capability required and regular winch extraction to support this work.
