## Summary

The Forestry Commission, a sub-central government public authority based in Bristol, is planning to issue a tender for a Tree Safety Framework in the South England Forest District. The procurement process, which is currently in the planning stage, aims to engage the market to refine specifications for services involving the safe removal and management of dangerous trees, including handling ash dieback. Interested parties have until 15 September 2025 to register their interest and provide feedback on the planned requirements. This framework agreement, valued at £3,000,000, is scheduled to commence on 1 September 2026 and conclude on 31 August 2030, with the main procurement category being services within the forestry industry.

This upcoming tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in forestry and environmental management services, particularly those specialising in safety inspections, emergency tree works, and disease management. Companies that are adept in handling complex environmental challenges and possess a strong service delivery track record will find this project particularly beneficial. The framework's emphasis on emergency operations and health management highlights the need for skilled businesses, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to participate and potentially expand their market reach within the public sector. The framework’s scope, covering locations in the South of England, offers a substantial growth opportunity for regional companies.
