  Forestry and Land Survey Work - Hello This notice is to provide an update on the Surveys Framework tender exercise. Due to some internal delays, the timeline for this has been pushed back. We now expect to publish the specifications and further information around the 19th July. As mentioned in the previous notice, skills tests form part of the bidding process. These will take place mostly from mid to late August, although there is still hope a couple may take place in late July. More precise dates will be released as soon as possible, and bidders will be able to select dates which suit them. Thanks for your interest, and apologies for any inconvenience caused by the delay
