## Summary

The Forestry Commission, located at 620 Bristol Business Park, Bristol, has completed the procurement process for a framework titled "Mineral Consultancy." This tender falls under the services category, specifically "Environmental issues consultancy services," and encompasses mineral operations management across Forestry England's sites throughout England. The process was carried out via an open procedure, and while all stages such as planning, tender, and award are noted, the award was formally made on 1st June 2026. The framework will commence on 20th June 2026 and run until 19th June 2030. The value of the successful award is £280,000 (excluding VAT), and it was secured by FISHER GERMAN LLP, a large supplier with offices in Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire.

This framework offers substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in professional consultancy services related to environmental issues and mineral management. With over 40 sites managed by Forestry England, including operational sites, landfill, and in-house quarries, the scope of work provides a diverse range of opportunities. Companies that can provide comprehensive expertise in estate management, valuation, geotechnical surveys, and quarry management will find this tender advantageous. SMEs and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs) can be prospective beneficiaries of such frameworks, although the awarded contract in this instance went to a large enterprise, indicating a competitive and specialised field. The procurement ensures fixed pricing for the initial two years, creating more certainty for businesses involved.

## Notice

Forestry England have explored and managed mineral operations on the nations forest since it was established and wish to continue to develop commercial mineral opportunities across the estate. This must be undertaken in reasonable balance with wider objectives including the production of timber and the interests of conservation and the environment. In promoting the multiple benefits of forestry, we also seek to take careful account of the needs and wishes of stakeholders, including local communities. This framework covers the whole of England. We currently have more than 40 sites in England, made up of a combination of operational sites worked by Tenants, sites worked under leasehold reservation by Landlords, sites used for landfill and 23 in house quarries. As an increasingly specialised industry, we recognise the need to procure competent professional counsel to aid us in the successful management of these sites.
