## Summary

Natural Resources Wales (NRW), operating under Welsh devolved regulations, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for its Land Management Framework Pre-tender Market Engagement. With a focus on services related to forestry and grounds maintenance, the procurement covers locations across Wales, specifically within NRW managed land like forestry sites, recreational areas, visitor centres, and National Nature Reserves. Interested suppliers are invited to engage in a pre-tender webinar and survey by the end of June 2026. The procurement process includes planned and reactive maintenance activities, with a contract period planned from January 2027 to December 2031. Suppliers that have not participated in public tendering before can request special one-on-one sessions for support, fostering broader participation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the forestry and land management sectors, particularly those offering comprehensive maintenance services. With a framework agreement valued up to £9,600,000 GBP, there is notable scope for small and medium enterprises to secure long-term contracts, given their suitability for the framework. Engaging early in the pre-tender activities could provide businesses with crucial insights and a competitive edge. The opportunity is suitable for businesses keen on expanding their operations in Wales and those interested in public sector partnerships, offering a chance to contribute to the sustainability and upkeep of the nation’s natural resources.

## Notice

NRW will shortly be opening up tendering opportunities for supplies interested in working for NRW under the Land Management Site Maintenance Framework. The Land Management Framework provides NRW Land Management teams across Wales with the resources to manage the general maintenance programme of work predominantly within NRW managed land. It includes planned and reactive maintenance, repair and installation work at forestry sites, recreational sites, visitor centres, National Nature Reserves, and any other Land in our Care.

### Planning Information

Suppliers are invited to express an interest in this opportunity during the pre-tender market engagement stage. Suppliers will be able to:

Request a 1:1 engagement session if additional support is required with the process. Note this is primarily for suppliers that have not previously done any public tendering. Appointments will be on a first come first served basis.
