## Summary

The Forestry Commission, operating under Forestry England, recently concluded a procurement process for the hire of a temporary marquee at Westonbirt Arboretum, located in the UK region of South West England. This marquee is intended to house the restaurant temporarily while refurbishment works are underway. The contract, awarded under a "Below threshold - unknown" procurement method, was initiated on 6th October 2025 and is set to end on 6th April 2026. T&L Marquee Hire Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise from Northampton, was awarded the contract, valued at £116,656. The procurement covered goods within the CPV category for tents and related structures.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in providing marquee and temporary structures. Companies with capabilities in delivering specialised tents and tarpaulin products could find similar opportunities to expand into the public contracting space. The involvement of the Forestry Commission as a buyer highlights the potential for future projects where public authorities seek reliable suppliers to fulfil temporary infrastructure needs. Businesses that can offer scalable and customised solutions in an efficient and cost-effective manner will be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes.
