Summary of the contracting process

Forestry and Land Scotland initiated a tender for the procurement of cell growing machinery as part of the Newton Nursery Redevelopment project. The main procurement category is goods, focusing on specialist agricultural or forestry machinery. The tender, now at the award stage, involved the cancellation of one lot due to specific criteria. Key dates include the award date of 18th June 2024. The buying organisation, Forestry and Land Scotland, located in Inverness, was the contracting authority for this procurement process.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specializing in agricultural or forestry machinery. The procurement method, a limited award procedure without prior publication, aimed to address a particular economic operator's unique offer of machinery and services necessary for the project. Businesses capable of delivering the listed machinery and equipment, along with aftersales training, were well-suited to compete. Understanding the specific technical requirements outlined in the tender was crucial for potential suppliers, as the machinery contract needed to be purchased from a single supplier to avoid technical issues. Björkemar Construction & Consulting (BCC AB) emerged as the successful supplier, demonstrating expertise in meeting the project's needs.
