## Summary

The Forestry Commission procured forestry services to erect approximately 3,850 metres of deer and rabbit fencing around the perimeters of clearfell sites across Northamptonshire. The requirement concerns practical fencing installation for forestry restocking areas, including work along multiple site perimeters rather than a single named location. Northamptonshire is the delivery area. The procurement was organised by the Forestry Commission, a sub-central public authority, which is the organisation responsible for the requirement. The service is classified under CPV 77200000, covering forestry services. The published scope is focused on constructing the specified protective fencing; it does not describe wider forestry management, woodland maintenance, ecological consultancy or materials supply as separate requirements. The procurement comprised one lot covering the complete fencing requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. C J Springthorpe Limited, an SME, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 6 May 2026 and runs from 6 May 2026 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £48,521.95 excluding VAT, or £58,226.34 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a procedure recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated and awarded as one unseparated package, with no separate lot values or multiple suppliers recorded. The contracting process used a tender under the Procurement Act 2023 legal basis. The award concerns the full fencing service described for Northamptonshire clearfell sites.

This award provides a clear demand signal for contractors able to deliver deer and rabbit exclusion fencing for forestry restocking and clearfell sites. A credible future supplier would need practical experience erecting long runs of perimeter fencing across dispersed woodland locations, with the equipment, labour and site management capacity to coordinate work across multiple sites. Capability in forestry or land-based contracting would be relevant, as would an understanding of access constraints, uneven ground, site safety and the need to protect newly restocked areas from browsing animals. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably equipped specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Businesses with proven fencing installation experience and forestry-sector references would be well placed.
