Natural Resources Wales - Ground Preparation Framework Pre Market Engagement Questionnaire

Overview

NRW will shortly be opening up tendering opportunities for suppliers interested in working for NRW under the Ground Preparation Services Framework.  This survey seeks the views of prospective suppliers and contractors as part of our pre-tender market engagement stage.  

The purpose of this framework is to provide all Wales Forestry Operations teams with the resource to manage the Ground preparation programme of works predominantly within the Welsh Government Woodland Estate (WGWE).  This framework could also be used for NRW funded projects if appropriate. 

Any questions marked * are mandatory. This questionnaire is not a call for competition and participation is voluntary.  Your information will be kept securely and not passed to any third parties. Not all questions have to be answered. The presence or absence of answers will not be considered during the procurement and award phases of a contract.  This is an opportunity for us to better understand your services.

IMPORTANT: your information will be kept securely, not passed to any third parties, will be kept for a limited amount of time, and only be used in connection with this project. 

Read more about how we manage information about you in our Privacy Statement.

Why your views matter

We'd love to hear from prospective suppliers / contractors about their interest in the forthcoming tender, the size and type of types of businesses that want to work for us, and the type of skills and locations. 

Your feedback will help us to understand the external marketplace and ensure that the Framework that we ultimately put in place is fit for purpose, for both NRW and you, the suppliers. 

Help shape the new NRW Ground Preparation Services Framework by sharing your views with us.
