What is being bought

Forestry England is seeking market engagement for a peatland restoration framework across multiple sites (to be confirmed). The scope includes provision of all labour, plant, materials, and expertise to deliver restoration works. Including tree and scrub removal using a mechanical mulcher, hagg and gully reprofiling, hydrological restoration and re-wetting through the construction of water control structures, including peat dams, plastic piling dams, stone dams, timber dams and bunding and forest-to-bog work through ground smoothing, which may include stump flipping, stump grinding, furrow reprofiling, and cross-tracking. Some sites may require helicopter transport due to access constraints. Contractors will also be responsible for environmental safeguards, site protection, monitoring, and reporting.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 77. The category anchor is Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services (77000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
