Legal Support – Renewable Energy Development

Forestry Commission · Contract award notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 25 Sept 2026, 07:17.

Opportunity overview

Renewable development (notably wind development) presents a new strategic opportunity for Forestry England which will require Forestry England, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, to enter into a range of complex legal agreements including partnerships with other developers and relevant stakeholders. Renewable energy development is a highly specialist area, it therefore necessitates access to legal advisers with specific expertise and experience in this sector to ensure appropriate risk management and compliance throughout the development lifecycle.
