Mineral Consultancy

Description

Forestry England are seeking to establish a framework for the provision of mineral consultancy services. Forestry England have explored and managed mineral operations on the nations forest since it was established and wish to continue to develop commercial mineral opportunities across the estate. This must be undertaken in reasonable balance with wider objectives including the production of timber and the interests of conservation and the environment. In promoting the multiple benefits of forestry, we also seek to take careful account of the needs and wishes of stakeholders, including local communities. This framework will cover the whole of England. We currently have more than 40 sites in England, made up of a combination of operational sites worked by Tenants, sites worked under leasehold reservation by Landlords, sites used for landfill and 23 in house quarries. As an increasingly specialised industry, we recognise the need to procure competent professional counsel to aid us in the successful management of these sites. The requirements under this framework will include the services of Chartered mineral surveyors to provide: estate management; valuation and advice relating to mineral and waste sites on the nation forests; geotechnical surveys; professional services for the active management of quarries.
