## Summary

The Forestry Commission procured mechanical weeding services for North Beat inter-row mow sites. The work involves controlling woody, grassy and herbaceous species that compete with newly planted restock trees, supporting the establishment and growth of woodland after replanting. This is a practical forestry maintenance requirement, classified as forestry services. Delivery is associated with the Forestry Commission’s North Beat sites; the contracting information identifies the buyer as the Forestry Commission, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is focused on vegetation management between rows of restock trees rather than general grounds maintenance, planting, harvesting or wider environmental consultancy. It would suit contractors providing mechanised vegetation control in woodland or forestry settings, with the equipment and operational capability to work accurately around young trees and established site layouts.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold tender process. One lot was awarded to Environmental Regeneration Limited, an SME, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026, starts on 14 September 2026 and ends on 18 December 2026. Its value is £26,992 excluding VAT, or £32,390 including VAT. The award covers the full mechanical weeding service for the inter-row mow sites. The published process records the procurement method as below threshold, with no further method description. The outcome shows that the Forestry Commission selected a specialist supplier for this defined forestry maintenance requirement. The contract is being delivered by Environmental Regeneration Limited, based in Rotherham.

This award demonstrates demand from the Forestry Commission for targeted mechanical vegetation control to protect and establish restock trees. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need practical forestry experience, suitable mowing or mechanical-weeding equipment, and the ability to distinguish competing woody, grassy and herbaceous growth from young trees. Site operators would need to work safely and consistently between planting rows, manage work across woodland sites, and deliver the required coverage within a short seasonal programme. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national contractor. Businesses with proven woodland maintenance capability, reliable machinery, competent operators and experience working around restocking schemes would be well placed to assess similar Forestry Commission requirements.
