Qualification questionnaires
Before bidding customers need to complete qualification questionnaires
The Timber Sales Qualification Form (TSQF) and Health and Safety Questionnaire (HSQ) only have to be completed once unless there is a significant change with the business. We may request the forms to be reviewed every three years to confirm details have not changed.
To receive a copy of both forms email Timber.Sales@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk,
Submission of all the completed forms is via the following email address Timber.Sales@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk, until HSQ & TSQF are evaluated and passed, we are unable to accept bids on sales events.
Marketing our timber
Our policy is to market our timber in such a way as to optimise our financial return from timber sales, whilst managing the forests in a sustainable manner.
We also encourage the development of healthy and competitive timber harvesting and wood processing industries in Great Britain.
Our sales methods are:
Electronic Tenders
The majority of our open market sales of timber are conducted electronically, via our eTimber Sales application. The principal format for competitive sales is electronic tender. We hope the majority of our customers benefit by, and be able to take advantage of, online timber purchasing.
Long Term Contracts
Long-term contracts (LTCs) are typically five-year contracts. They are offered as standing or roadside sales. LTCs are tendered at a set volume, spread equally over the contract term. Price is typically revised annually on roadside contracts and on a lot-by-lot basis on standing contracts.
There are no plans to offer any further long-term contracts at present. We will continue to monitor and review the situation and will advertise any opportunities for further contracts should the need for more arise.
