## Summary

Natural Resources Wales has concluded the NRW Arboriculture, Chainsaw, and Tree Safety Framework for the period 2025-2029, finalising contracts across eight lots. The procurement involved an open procedure, covering forestry services and chainsaw provisions, with all lots marked complete. Based in Cardiff, Natural Resources Wales is a central government public authority under the Welsh devolved regulations. The framework’s award date is 13th April 2026, with contracts spanning regions across the United Kingdom until 2030. This comprehensive framework covers various geographical regions and ensures service delivery for both arboriculture and chainsaw services. Key suppliers include ALFA Tree Services, Edwards Woodland Services Ltd, and Forest Tree Surgery & Grounds Maintenance Limited, among others.

This framework offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in forestry and related services, to secure direct awards up to £25,000 or compete in mini-competitions for larger call-offs. Companies with expertise in arboriculture, chainsaw handling, and forestry management are well-suited to engage with this framework. With comprehensive coverage across several regions, firms can enhance their business portfolio and expand their client base within the public sector, tapping into an essential service area pivotal to natural resource management and conservation efforts throughout Wales and the UK.
