## Summary

The Forestry Commission intends to procure consultancy support for Forestry England’s corporate partnerships programme. The work will support the in-house team in delivering its corporate partnerships strategy, developing and amplifying new business engagement, and working towards fundraising targets. The programme covers a diverse portfolio of partnership opportunities, including volunteering, wellbeing, community engagement, woodland creation and nature recovery. Forestry England manages land and forests across England, with a mission focused on public enjoyment, wildlife and business growth. The service is business and management consultancy, classified under CPV 79410000, and will be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a single corporate partnerships consultancy requirement, aimed at supporting fundraising activity rather than delivering forestry operations or physical works.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure but has not invited tenders. It expects to award one contract for five years, with the planned contract period running from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £200,000 excluding VAT and £240,000 including VAT, covering the full period and any extension or break-point options. The buyer expects the next procurement notice to be published by 1 December 2026. It has scheduled preliminary market engagement, with interested parties asked to confirm their interest by 30 November 2026. The requirement is above the relevant threshold. The planned procedure and evaluation basis have not yet been set out.

This will suit consultancies experienced in corporate partnerships, fundraising strategy and commercial business development, particularly those able to work alongside an in-house public-sector team. Relevant suppliers should be able to turn a partnerships strategy into practical engagement with businesses, identify and develop new opportunities, and support relationship management through to delivery. Experience across social, environmental, community or nature-focused programmes would be useful, given the range of projects available to partners. Suppliers with capability in volunteering, wellbeing, community engagement, woodland creation or nature recovery partnerships may be well placed to understand the portfolio. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations in either group should monitor the next procurement stage and prepare relevant evidence of capability and results.
