Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), titled "Deer and Other Wildlife", pertains to the services industry, specifically targeting refuse and waste-related services. The procurement is in the planning stage, and interested suppliers are invited to participate in a market consultation through a survey due by 15:00 on 17 October 2025. The contract involves the collection, transport, and rendering/incineration of deer and animal waste from 37 deer larders across Scotland, with a total estimated value of £1,620,000. The main procurement category is services, and this process will be conducted under the legal framework governed by the EU Directive 2014/24/EU, suggesting that FLS is adhering to high standards for transparency and competitiveness.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in waste management and environmental services, particularly those specialising in non-hazardous refuse treatment and wildlife preservation. Companies with expertise in forestry services and strong operational capabilities in transporting and processing animal by-products could find this tender particularly beneficial for growth. The contract is divided into multiple geographical lots, which allows for flexibility in bidding, encouraging participation from both large-scale operations and smaller, regionally-focused businesses. Suppliers with strategic planning and efficient logistics handling stand to benefit significantly, as the contract covers an array of locations across the UK, including regions such as Inverness-shire, Ross-shire, and Argyll.
