## Summary

The procurement process led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) focused on establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the Direct Production Harvesting Services, which includes timber harvesting and related services like mechanised mulching and vegetation management. The procurement process, completed using the restricted procedure under the Public Contract Regulations 2015, was awarded to several contractors including TW & GW Evans. The contract, valued at £60,000, was signed on 8th September 2025. This procurement, relevant to the services industry category, specifically accommodates regions within Wales, including North, Mid, and South Wales. NRW operates from Cardiff, UK, as a central purchasing body.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in timber harvesting services, particularly those capable of reacting to dynamic needs such as infection clearance. The DPS allows small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to join and benefit from a structured environment that prioritises quality (60%) and competitive pricing (40%). Suppliers like EB Davies Timber Ltd. and Smerdon Tree Services (STS) Ltd. demonstrate the suitability of the procurement process for SMEs across the UK. This process provides businesses with the chance to engage with long-term contracts that align with statutory environmental obligations, ultimately assisting them in expanding their service portfolios and market reach in the UK.
