Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government is currently engaged in the CivTech 4 initiative, focusing on the project titled "CivTech 4 - C11 - How we use technology to make better use of Scotland’s valuable supply tree seed?" This procurement falls under the services industry category, aimed at addressing the urgent need for tree planting in Scotland, as outlined in recent strategic documents such as the Forestry Strategy for Scotland and Climate Change action plan. The tender process has been classified as open and has reached the contract award stage, with a notable contract awarded to the supplier Voxsio for a total value of £200,000. The location for this procurement is Edinburgh, with key dates including a signed contract date of 28th February 2019 and a project deadline that reflects ongoing requirements to adapt to climate-related challenges.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are innovative in technology and environmental solutions. Businesses skilled in developing technological applications, especially those related to sustainable practices and efficient resource use in forestry, would be well-positioned to compete in this space. The emphasis on leveraging technology to optimise Scotland’s limited tree seed supply suggests a growing market for providers of digital solutions and ecological consultancy services, fostering a pathway for collaboration in the Scottish Government's initiatives to combat climate emergencies.

Notice Title

CivTech 4 - C11 - How we use technology to make better use of Scotland's valuable supply tree seed?

Notice Description

There is a very clear and urgent need for more trees to be planted in Scotland. This demand is well understood by the Scottish Government and is articulated in both the recently published Forestry Strategy for Scotland and the Climate Change action plan. Scotland was also the first country in the world to declare a climate emergency, and planting more trees is vital if we are to tackle that emergency head on. However, the urgent need to do so much and so quickly in order to respond to this emergency means that existing processes and supplies of high quality tree seed are under significant strain. We need to find new ways of approaching the problem, that don't use more manual labour and ideally less, and that make more efficient use of the supplies of seed that we have. How might we use technology to make better use of Scotland's valuable but limited tree seed supply?
