Forestry Commission, in short
Who does Forestry Commission award contracts to?
Across 377 contracts recorded since 2021, Forestry Commission has used 296 different suppliers. The most frequent are Upton Specialised Tree Services Limited (29 contracts), Environmental Forestry UK Ltd (14 contracts), Liddle Forestry (9 contracts).
What does Forestry Commission buy?
Its most active procurement categories are grounds and horticultural services, architecture and engineering, construction works. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Forestry Commission contracts come up for renewal?
45 contracts awarded by Forestry Commission have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 12 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Forestry Commission spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £100k, across the 372 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Forestry Commission tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Forestry Commission notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

Same type of body. National bodies are not grouped by region: a department's notice address is where its commercial team sits, not where it works. Most published awards first.
How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 9 November 2025 to 8 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards have grown in each of the last two years. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 64, 106 and 180. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- 22 contracts end in the next 6 months: Published end dates between 8 November 2026 and 8 May 2027, each contract counted once.
- Has published 3 planned procurements: Pipeline notices on Find a Tender whose expected tender date is still to come, or passed in the last 30 days.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 127 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 9 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 26 Oct 2026 (13 days ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 372 of 377 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
