Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract with ID OCT491455 was awarded to Sylva Services by Forestry and Land Scotland. The contract title is "FM Operations - Lochaber Central" and falls under the services industry category. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement is already complete, and the contract was signed on 26th October 2023. The location of the contract is in Lochaber - Central, UKM, with the buying organisation located at Great Glen House, Leachkin Road, Inverness, UKM. The deadline for completion was driven by the requirement to finish the work before the upcoming planting season.

This tender, "FM Operations - Lochaber Central," presents opportunities mainly for businesses in the services sector specialised in forestry operations and maintenance. The contract was awarded following a limited procedure without prior publication, indicating a specific need and potentially less competition. Businesses with experience in rapid planting, restocking, beat-up operations, and forest maintenance would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. The time-sensitive nature of the work and the absence of alternative suppliers with capacity present a window for qualified businesses to engage and potentially secure similar contracts in the future.
