Reforestation and tree planting tenders
Tree planting is one of the most frequently tendered climate activities in the world, and also one of the most varied. National forestry agencies and municipalities buy seedlings, planting and after-care; road and rail operators tender compensatory planting for land they clear; development programmes fund landscape restoration across whole watersheds; and a smaller group of buyers commission the planning, monitoring and carbon accounting that turn planting into a measurable climate outcome.
Works tenders in this area are judged on delivery: species choice suited to the site, nursery capacity, planting density, survival guarantees over several seasons, and the cost per hectare or per tree. Advisory and monitoring tenders are judged on the team. Notices that mention carbon usually expect a methodology for measuring growth and carbon uptake, and sometimes a pathway to certification.
This page lists open tenders that mention reforestation, afforestation or tree planting. It is built for forestry contractors, nurseries, restoration organisations and the consultancies that plan and monitor this work.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between reforestation and afforestation?
Reforestation replants land that was recently forested; afforestation plants trees on land that has not been forest for a long time. Notices use both terms, sometimes loosely.
What do tree planting tenders evaluate?
Species and site suitability, nursery and planting capacity, survival guarantees and after-care, price per hectare or per tree, and for larger programmes, community engagement.
Do these tenders lead to carbon credits?
Some do. Notices that mention carbon usually ask for a measurement method and sometimes certification, but most planting contracts are for land, landscape or biodiversity goals.
