Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission has initiated a public procurement process for civil engineering works under the title "Civil engineering - North Scotland" aimed at managing the National Forest Estate in Scotland. This project falls within the environmental protection industry category and is located across various sites in Inverness, Ross & Skye, and Moray & Aberdeenshire. Currently at the award stage, the procurement was marked complete on 3rd August 2017, with a total value of £10,400,000. Interested businesses had until 12 May 2017 to submit their bids, following an open procedure procurement method that allowed for broad participation.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for civil engineering companies, especially those with experience in infrastructure development and maintenance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find a particular advantage as the procurement process incorporates multiple lots, allowing them to engage in smaller, manageable contracts. Given the project's focus on timber harvesting and forest management, businesses carrying expertise in environmental protection and sustainable construction practices would be well-suited to compete for these contracts.

In order to carry out the management of the National Forest Estate, Forest Enterprise Scotland requires Civil Engineering Works to support access to, and management of the Estate. The core civil engineering works are to deliver the construction and maintenance of the forest road network and associated infrastructure such as harvesting facilities and extractives sites (quarries). The forest roads activity is critical to and driven by the harvesting and marketing of timber. It also supports all other access and management activities. This includes providing a high quality of public access. The works may be programmed several months in advance but will also include unpredictable work that has to be delivered at short notice. Examples of short notice work include reactive maintenance or responding to timber marketing requirements. Because of the nature of forest roads, the impacts of weather and the varying demands from the timber supply chain it is not possible to say with certainty what work will be required. In addition to this core work the scope also includes emergency and incidental civil engineering works that require the same competencies and machinery. Examples include drainage works, constructing and maintaining tracks and ways, maintenance of paths, car parks and emergency works such as clearing debris flows and landslips For more information on the Forestry Commission, Forest Enterprise Scotland and the Forest Districts please see www.forestry.gov.uk The works are in the scope of the Construction Design and Management Regulations. The works are to be carried out to the United Kingdom Forestry standard and the associated guidelines.
