## Summary

The procurement process for the Orthorectification Service Framework 2026 - 2030 has been concluded and awarded by Natural Resources Wales, a sub-central government authority headquartered in Cardiff, United Kingdom. This procurement falls under the forestry services industry and covers the orthorectification of GIS and other survey services across the Welsh Government Woodland Estate. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, and the framework agreement aims to validate and correct tree species data held by NRW over a five-year period. The contract, valued at £375,000, covers all of Wales and spans from 17th June 2026 to 16th June 2028, with potential extensions up to 2030.

This framework presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in GIS and forestry services, particularly SMEs capable of providing orthorectification and related GIS tasks. With the potential for direct awards and a focus on quality and pricing criteria, firms that offer competitive rates and high-quality service delivery could thrive. The two-year initial term, with optional extensions, allows for sustained business growth and engagement with the public sector in Wales, bolstered by the support and oversight of a government authority committed to sustainable resource management.
