Authority: Natural Resources Wales (Public body)
What is being bought2 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionNRW have a need for accurate data, provided through a range of forest surveys throughout the year; we require metrics for evidence (e.g. Audit and certification) and for timber sale purposes. Accuracy of the data collected and confidence in the method used (following UK standards) is key for the downstream use of these metrics, e.g. for sale, valuation or audit purposes.

How this framework works
From the published notice- Bids received
- 4 bids on the busiest of 2 lots · 3 suppliers appointed
Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure
2 lots · no lot values published · evaluation weights differ by lotLot #1Crop Attribute SurveysAwarded
Attribute surveys are completed in crops of around 20 years old to validate and update the growing stock data held in our sub-compartment database. This survey provides NRW with stocking density information, topheight data, species and General Yield Class (GYC) as well as further qualitative data described in the specification, to enable us to make these updates.
Detailed information on etenderwales portal.
Lot #2Stocking density assessmentsAwarded
The annual Stocking Density assessment (SDA) is carried out as an audit, to ensure adequate numbers of trees are present on each restock site. This assessment is carried out for young crops -up to the age of 5- to ascertain numbers of live trees per hectare, plantable gaps with a subjective assessment of the reasons for the tree losses.
The assessment may be carried out on a representative sample of the site through circular field plots or by counting all trees on the site by classifying images that are obtained through remote sensing.

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
| Lot | Quality | Price | Split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · Crop Attribute Surveys | 50% | 50% | |
| 2 · Stocking density assessments | 50% | 50% |
- Price carries 50 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 5 points.
- “Forest Surveys Framework 2021-2025” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
