Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission, based in Edinburgh, has awarded a contract for the supply of NPK Fertiliser to support the establishment of forestation and remedial maintenance where nutrient deficiencies have been identified. The procurement process, classified as 'limited', was concluded on 1st March 2019, with a contract valued at £340,000. This procurement process followed an open tender which resulted in a negotiated procedure without prior publication, allowing for a framework agreement to be formed to manage contracts over a four-year period.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for suppliers specialising in agricultural products, particularly those focused on fertilisers and soil health, to expand their market presence in Scotland. Businesses that can provide large quantities of fertilisers in diverse formats for both aerial and manual application will be well-suited to compete. Given the limited nature of the bidding process, this contract may also be attractive to larger enterprises capable of meeting stringent supply demands and logistical requirements.
