## Summary

The Forestry Commission commissioned forestry services to mulch Norway Spruce residues and stumps at Eartham and Selhurst. The purpose is to destroy material susceptible to IPS and prepare the sites for restocking. The work is therefore focused on forest-site clearance and disease-risk management rather than general grounds maintenance or routine tree surgery. It covers both woody residues left after forestry operations and existing stumps, with the completed areas prepared for future replanting. The buyer is the Forestry Commission, a public-sector forestry organisation. The requirement is located at Eartham and Selhurst in England. Businesses operating in forestry contracting, woodland clearance, stump and residue mulching, and site preparation are the closest fit, particularly those able to work on forestry sites and handle material associated with Norway Spruce and IPS risk.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PRACTICALITY BROWN LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and is active for 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £36,420.97 excluding VAT, or £43,705.16 including VAT. The procurement used a below-threshold procedure, with the detailed method recorded as unknown. There was one completed lot covering the Eartham and Selhurst requirement. The award covers forestry services and is linked to the full contract period. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract; it does not provide a separate award date or detailed scoring criteria. This is evidence of a completed purchase rather than an invitation to submit a tender.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement identifies a defined Forestry Commission requirement for specialist forestry mulching at two woodland sites. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in mulching Norway Spruce residues and stumps, including material that may be susceptible to IPS, and in leaving sites suitable for restocking. The requirement favours forestry contractors able to manage both residue and stump treatment as one site-preparation service, rather than suppliers offering only general arboricultural work or standalone tree removal. The awarded supplier is an SME, indicating that this scale of work can be delivered by a smaller specialist business. Relevant firms can use the requirement to assess their forestry-site experience, disease-risk controls, operational capacity across multiple locations and ability to deliver a complete clearance and restocking-preparation service for the Forestry Commission.
