OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission is currently engaged in the TimberLINK Service procurement process, an initiative targeted at timber transport and shipping services within the Argyll and Ayrshire regions, facilitating the movement of at least 75,000 tonnes of timber annually, with potential increases up to 90,000 tonnes. The procurement employs an open procedure and has recently transitioned to the award stage as of 1st July 2017, after the tender's closing date on 13th January 2017. The contract aims to enhance environmental protection, aligning with classifications under the European public law framework.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in logistics, shipping, and environmental services. Companies capable of handling substantial timber transport requirements, especially those committed to sustainable practices, would be especially well-suited to compete. The contract not only provides an avenue for substantial financial engagement, valued at approximately £4 million, but also promotes community benefits, including reducing CO2 emissions and improving local infrastructure, thereby aligning with broader social and environmental goals.
