The Forestry Commission relies on the external market place to deliver many of the Goods, Works and Services required to help us deliver our specific objectives.
• The Government’s Strategy for England’s Trees, Woods and Forests
• The Welsh Assembly Government’s Strategy for Woodlands & Trees

The purpose of these pages is to provide suppliers with information on our current contract opportunities, and to enable potential suppliers and members of the public the ability to view our standard terms and conditions of contract, and other relevant documents.
Tenders
It is Forestry Commission policy to tender and advertise all contract opportunities over the value of £20k. All of these opportunities can be viewed on this website by following the links on the left. We are also required to advertise certain high value opportunities in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU), in line with EC Public Procurement Directives. Access to these opportunities can be viewed at the following link http://www.ojec.com/. In Wales, opportunities which fall within the aforementioned category are also advertised through the Sell2Wales website. Access to these opportunities can be viewed at the following link https://www.sell2wales.co.uk/.
Government Transparency Agenda
Bidding organisations must confirm their acceptance of the mandatory requirements for publication of tender documents and contracts as set out in the Government Transparency Agenda.
Sustainable Procurement
The Forestry Commission is aiming to deliver a Sustainable Procurement strategy through a measured process that takes into consideration the environmental, social and economic issues that should be addressed through such a policy. This will be delivered in line with the central and devolved government targets and policies that have been set.
