Notice Title

Operational Planning Review

Notice Description

The scope of this review is to support Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) with Stage 2 of their project to understand the steps and processes required to deliver a coherent programme of operational activity.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The scope of this review is to support FLS with Stage 2 of their project to understand the steps and processes required to deliver a coherent programme of operational activity.

Procurement Information

Lack of capacity in the in-house team to undertake this urgent work, caused by competing demands of other business-critical activities needed to keep operational performance on track. While this work in itself is not an 'unforeseen urgency', what was unforeseen was the volume of different issues needing to be dealt with at the same time by a small team - this particular piece of work is the one that has been selected to be contracted out.
