The procurement is aimed at supporting forestry operations across various regions of England, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. As a public authority within the sub-central government category, the Commission is conducting a market engagement with relevant suppliers to explore the range of goods available. An important date for interested parties is the market engagement response deadline on 24th September 2025. The full procurement process is expected to result in the framework's commencement on 30th November 2025, lasting until 29th November 2029. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in medical supplies, particularly those capable of delivering bespoke first aid solutions tailored to the forestry sector's needs. Companies that provide a range of medical items, including splints, first-aid boxes, surgical gloves, and dressings, will find this tender especially attractive. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process considers their suitability for this framework. Engaging in this tender could not only secure a consistent revenue stream due to the long-term nature of the framework but also enhance the supplier's portfolio within the public sector market. ## Notice We require a framework for the supply of first aid kits as well as individual medical items. The framework will be made up of a single lot and will contain bespoke first aid kits suitable for forestry's requirements. Goods will be delivered to forestry sites across England. ### Planning Information We are looking to obtain knowledge from the market on the range of goods that can be supplied. This will inform Forestry of what they can look to include in their requirement and where they may be gaps that are better procured elsewhere. Please could you complete the response form found on our Panacea e-tender system which contains a list of all of the medical products that we are looking to procure as part of this future framework, and indicate whether this is something that you can provide or if it is something that you would not be able to supply. https://app.panacea-software.com/ForestryCommission/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2FForestryCommission%2F Please note that all dates for tender publication and pricing details in this notice are estimates at this time. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053882-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 24 Sep 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Nov 2025 - 29 Nov 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £155,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FORESTRY COMMISSION | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS16 1EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK52 Bath & North East Somerset and South Gloucestershire | | Local authority | South Gloucestershire | | Electoral ward | Stoke Park & Cheswick | | Westminster constituency | Filton and Bradley Stoke | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33141100 - Dressings; clip, suture, ligature supplies - 33141420 - Surgical gloves - 33141623 - First-aid boxes - 33141760 - Splints ## Release History - 4 Sep 2025 at 11:18 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053882-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053882-2025 4th September 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://app.panacea-software.com/ForestryCommission/Login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2FForestryCommission%2F - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
