## Summary

Natural Resources Wales has completed a procurement process to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Direct Production Harvesting Services according to the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The process followed the Restricted Procedure Regulation 28 and Dynamic Purchasing Systems Regulation 34. This procurement aimed to support campaigns in North, Mid, and South Wales, in compliance with statutory duties. The awarded contracts are related to timber harvesting services, focusing on different regions with a total value of £12,000,000 per contract agreement. This procurement phase is in the "award" stage, with key awards signed on 9th May 2020, ensuring compliance and readiness for responsive service operations.

This DPS provides significant growth opportunities for businesses in the forestry and environmental sectors, especially those capable of handling timber harvesting, felling, processing, and vegetation management. It's an opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to the open call via the selective procurement method. Companies with expertise in forest management, timber transportation, and specialised timber operations are well-suited to compete and benefit. The contracts encompass extensive forestry services, including manual and mechanised felling across Wales, providing multiple avenues for business expansion and opportunities to engage with a key governmental body responsible for sustainable resource management.
