OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission is conducting a tender process for the procurement of haulage services for live plants, primarily supporting the environmental protection and forestry industries. This procurement is at the Award stage, with key components including delivery across Scotland and potential deliveries to England under two lots. The deadline for submissions was 20 July 2018, and the contracts were signed in early January 2019. Interested businesses should note that the contract value is estimated at £650,000, and submissions were managed through an open procurement method.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in logistics and transport to engage in public procurement, particularly those experienced in handling horticultural products and adhering to environmental standards. Businesses equipped to perform road haulage across Scotland, with the required operator's licenses and waste carrier registrations, will find this contract ideally suited to their capabilities. Participation in this process could lead to long-term partnerships with the Forestry Commission and contribute to sustainable practices in environmental management.
