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

The procurement process involves Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS), which is located at 1 Highlander Way, Inverness Retail Park, Inverness, UK. The contract, titled "Shooting Rates Appeals Professional Services", falls under the environmental protection category and was awarded on 30 January 2020. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract has a value of £134,000 and is expected to conclude by 30 December 2020, unless extended.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in professional legal or consultancy services related to environmental regulations and appeals. Companies well-versed in negotiations and submissions pertaining to shooting rates in the context of Scotland's national forests would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with this procurement can provide a pathway to building a strong portfolio in public sector contracts and fostering long-term relationships with the buying organisation, FLS.

Specialist professional services to lead shooting rates appeals for FLS, including preparing submissions for appeals and negotiating appeals with each relevant Assessor with a view to reaching agreement before the scheduled Committee hearing dates.

Procurement Information

In September 2019 a contract below the OJEU threshold was awarded for professional support to prepare and negotiate appeals for shooting rites across Scotland's national forests and land. Additional appeal citations are expected and are time bound, FLS is unable to contract with a new procurement procedure within the statutory time limits for appeals. Failure to progress appeals timeously will result in a significant budget liability for FLS. Therefore a decision has been made to contract with the original contractor to avoid significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs.
