## Summary

The buying organisation Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has completed a procurement process to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Timber Harvesting Services, categorised under timber harvesting (CPV 77211100). The services cover the felling, processing, and extraction of trees in Mid, South, and North Wales, in line with statutory duties to provide harvesting services. The procurement was carried out under the Restricted Procedure of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, with the tendering processes in Mid, South, and North Wales completing on various dates by May 2025. Contracts have been awarded to multiple suppliers, with an overall contract value of GBP 12,000,000 for each region, indicating the significance of this initiative for the local timber industry.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses engaged in forestry services, particularly those specialising in timber harvesting and associated services such as mechanised vegetation management. With the inclusion of SMEs and large businesses alike, companies like Euroforest Ltd and GMD Forestry Limited are among the successful bidders, highlighting the competitive nature of this DPS. The initiative supports a wide range of activities, including manual felling, winching, and planning operations, thus calling for companies with expertise in forestry operations and compliance with safety and quality criteria. The dynamic nature of this system allows ongoing participation, presenting a continued opportunity for enterprises to engage with progressive contracts and expand their operations within the Welsh forestry sector.
