This procurement responds to the need for an evidence-informed baseline to support sector and government readiness for potential future changes in gene technology regulatory settings and to inform future Forestry Research Programme priorities.
The literature review will be structured around the two technology pathways, which together represent the main ways gene technology is being applied across the forestry value chain:
1. Gene technology for microbes and biological systems
Applications where engineered microbes or enzymes break down woody biomass or convert it into bioproducts, including evidence of pilot‑scale, demonstration, or commercial deployment.
2. Gene technology for trees
Modification of wood chemistry or structure to improve processing efficiency in woody-biomass regimes, and modification of tree-level traits relevant to timber regimes (e.g. growth rate, wood density, stress resistance, biomass yield). This includes documented international field trials and environmental releases in forestry settings.

This tender has been awarded.
