OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission, located in Edinburgh, is involved in the procurement process for the project titled "Tree Mulching and drain blocking at Flanders Moss, Cowal and Trossachs Forest District." This initiative falls under the environmental protection category and is currently in the award stage, with the original contract awarded to RGL (Moffat) Ltd in 2015. The total contract value was approximately £500,000, and the potential for an additional increase of up to 34.4% has been indicated in this voluntary ex ante transparency (VEAT) notice. The delivery is to be executed in the Flanders Moss area, which lies within the UKM region, with no changes to the contract duration scheduled to end in August 2018.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those engaged in land restoration and vegetation management. Companies that offer expertise in tree removal, habitat recovery, and similar ecological services may find this a lucrative opportunity for collaboration or contract bidding. The limited procurement method indicates that competition may be restricted, thus favouring businesses with prior experience in similar projects or existing relationships with the Forestry Commission, enhancing their chances of securing additional work contracts in this area.
