FPC released a Request for Proposal on 3 November 2026 to establish a Panel of forestry service providers (Establishment Managers) to deliver softwood plantation establishment services on up to 1,000 hectares per annum in the south-west of Western Australia.
The core requirements include delivery of plantation establishment activities such as site preparation, planting, fertilising, and early-stage maintenance (including weed control) to enable the achievement of defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Radiata pine seedlings will be grown in the FPC’s West Manjimup Nursery and delivered to the sites to be managed by Establishment Managers ahead of planting, which is to commence from early June of each year.
Establishment Managers will be responsible for planning, coordinating and delivering services, including management of subcontractors where required. Services will be allocated by the FPC based on program requirements. FPC will retain responsibility for oversight, contract management (excluding subcontractors), and assurance of delivery outcomes. Full details are contained in the Request documents.
Organisations interested in this opportunity are encouraged to view RFP122026FV on tenders.wa.gov.au for further information.
