The work has two complementary parts: assessing the condition of the council’s woodlands, including biodiversity, public access, timber potential and management recommendations; and assessing tree, woodland and hedgerow canopy across the county. The countywide assessment also covers carbon storage and sequestration, natural capital accounts aligned with the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting, and mapping strategic opportunities. The results are intended to inform woodland management, climate action, nature recovery, natural capital assessment and future environmental investment. Delivery covers Cambridgeshire, including the areas identified in the procurement as Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. The council invited bids through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement reached tender, with the buyer seeking offers for one lot. The budgeted contract value is £65,000 excluding VAT (£78,000 including VAT). The contract period was set to run from 4 January to 31 March 2027, with an option, subject to the council’s agreement, to extend by up to two months, to 31 May 2027. Questions were due by 11 November 2026 at 5pm, and bids by 25 November 2026 at noon. Quality accounts for 70% of the evaluation and price for 30%. The buyer directs bidders to the procurement documents for the selection requirements. Bids are submitted through the ProContract website. This opportunity is suited to suppliers with the expertise to assess woodland condition and tree, woodland and hedgerow canopy at both asset and countywide scales. Relevant capabilities include biodiversity and public-access assessment, evaluation of timber potential, and developing practical woodland management recommendations. The wider work calls for carbon stock and sequestration assessment, preparation of natural capital accounts aligned with SEEA, and spatial analysis to identify strategic opportunities. Suppliers should be able to produce evidence and recommendations that support local authority decisions on woodland management, climate action, nature recovery and environmental investment. The single-lot commission combines these specialist strands, so it will suit businesses able to deliver a coordinated assessment programme across Cambridgeshire, either directly or by bringing together the necessary technical expertise. The council indicates that the opportunity is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. ## Notice Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking a supplier to deliver a comprehensive programme of tree and woodland assessments across Cambridgeshire. The commission comprises two complementary work packages: (1) woodland condition assessments of CCC-owned woodland assets, including biodiversity, public access, timber potential and management recommendations; and (2) a countywide tree, woodland and hedgerow canopy assessment, including carbon stock and sequestration assessment, SEEA-aligned Natural Capital Accounts and strategic opportunity mapping. The outputs will support woodland management, climate action, nature recovery, natural capital assessment and future environmental investment across Cambridgeshire. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: This contract can be extended up to 2 months beyond the initial term.
