Forestry Contracts and Tenders

See open forestry tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.

Forestry procurement covers tree surveys and inspections, tree surgery, felling and pruning, and out-of-hours tree response. Woodland work includes planting and woodland creation, mulching, tree safety works, soil surveys and peatland restoration, along with harvester and forwarder machinery for forest estates.

Forestry buying mostly runs through multi-supplier frameworks split into lots by area, or as call-offs from ESPO's grounds maintenance framework and its arboriculture lot, with ash dieback works let in batches. Councils, housing associations and universities buy tree care, while the Forestry Commission and Forestry and Land Scotland commission woodland work on the public forest estate.

  • What does forestry procurement cover?

    Forestry contracts span woodland management, forest management and woodland creation work: tree health surveys, timber harvesting, planting programmes, ground preparation and ongoing site maintenance. Many notices are issued by national forestry agencies, but county councils, national park authorities, water companies and environmental bodies also run their own woodland contracts.

  • What CPV codes apply to forestry contracts?

    Forestry notices carry 77200000 (Forestry services), 77231600 (Afforestation services) and 77310000 (Planting and maintenance services of green areas), and the broader 77000000 (Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services). Tree planting supplies carry 03450000 (Tree-nursery products).

  • Are forestry tenders limited to national forestry agencies?

    No. National forestry agencies manage a large share of the UK's public woodland, so they publish a substantial slice of forestry notices, but they are far from the only buyers. Councils, national park authorities, water companies and conservation bodies with woodland on their estate run separate forestry tenders of their own, across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

  • Which frameworks are used to buy forestry and tree work in the UK public sector?

    The ESPO grounds maintenance services framework is a common route for tree work, with its arboricultural services lot used for mini-competition call-offs such as Derbyshire County Council's ash dieback works and tree planting programme.

    Forestry and Land Scotland buys machinery for its forest estate through the Scotland Excel grounds and plant equipment framework, using both mini-competition and direct award call-offs.

  • How do I find forestry contracts before they are formally tendered?

    Read environment and open space strategies, grounds and highways maintenance plans, capital schemes and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show forestry work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
