Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has released a Prior Information Notice for a planned tender process concerning "Deer Larder Waste Management". The procurement targets the forestry services industry and encompasses the collection of deer and other wildlife waste across 39 Deer Larders operated by FLS. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a focus on gathering marketplace feedback. The locations specified include various regions such as UKM61, UKM62, and UKM63. Key dates include a future notice release on 7th December 2026. This initiative reflects FLS's need to renew existing arrangements, aligning with their environmental protection goals.

Businesses well-versed in these areas, particularly those experienced in handling non-hazardous waste, are well-suited to compete. By successfully participating, companies can secure long-term partnerships with a notable public entity focused on sustainable environmental management, thereby enhancing their market position and operational scope.
