## Summary

The Forestry Commission has completed a procurement process for validating 15 woodland creation sites under the Woodland Carbon Code. This project falls under the industry category of certification services, specifically coded as CPV 79132000. The contracting authority, located at 620 Bristol Business Park, Bristol, conducted the procurement through a below threshold method, resulting in the award of a contract valued at £40,000 (with a gross value of £48,000). Key dates include the start of the contract on 19th September 2025, and its expected completion by 31st July 2026. The project is part of the sub-central government's initiatives in the United Kingdom, with specific activities centred around Bristol.

SME-sized businesses with a strong background in certification and accreditation, especially in sustainability-related fields, would be well-suited to compete for similar tenders. Engaging in such projects can enhance a company's portfolio and credential in handling government projects, potentially opening doors to further contracts in this expanding sector. The involvement of a prominent entity like the Forestry Commission underscores both the prestige and importance of participating in these environmental advancements.
