## Summary

Tree Planting Framework 2023 is an active procurement process conducted by Natural Resources Wales, a Welsh Government funded body. The framework aims to manage restocking operations within the Welsh Government Woodland Estate by planting conifers and broadleaves across different locations in Wales. The procurement method is open, and the deadline for submissions is March 1, 2023. The main procurement category is services, and the tender involves two lots: Tree Planting - Restocking & Beat Up and Mechanised Tree planting.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses involved in forestry operations and garden services, especially those with expertise in tree planting and conservation. Companies like Advanced Forestry & Garden Services, Black forest forest & garden, and other SMEs have already been awarded contracts under this framework. Businesses interested in ecological regeneration and environmental considerations would be well-suited to compete in this tender, which focuses on delivering Community Benefits in support of economic and social objectives.

## Notice

The purpose of this framework is to provide NRW All Wales Forestry Operations teams with the resource to manage the restocking programme of works predominantly within the Welsh Government Woodland Estate (WGWE). This framework could also be used for NRW funded projects if appropriate. Tree planting is required by NRW to; restock those areas that have been harvested; to plant trees on woodland creation sites and to replace losses from previous tree planting operations. The trees will be both conifers and broadleaves and supplied as either bare-root stock, or containerised.

### Lot Information

Mechanised Tree planting

Mechanical Planting has to date consisted of a purpose built planting head attached to a traditional Tracked Excavator (TX). The prime benefit being the combination of ground preparation and planting over a longer planting window in a single operation. The planting head makes it possible to conduct the full scope of regeneration work from scarification to planting with a single machine. Providing regeneration of the highest quality and with the greatest possible consideration for environmental and ecological aspects.
