Summary of the contracting process

Forestry and Land Scotland has executed a procurement process for a Framework Agreement concerning the Supply of Tree Nursery & Glasshouse Growing Sundry Items. This tender is part of a redevelopment project at Newton Nursery, Elgin, involving Tree Transportation items, growing mediums, and organic matter. The buying organisation, based in Inverness, in the UKM region, employed an open procedure for this goods-related contract. The key stage in this process was the award phase, which culminated on 20 May 2025, with the signing of various contracts over March and April 2025. The awarded contracts focus on the industry's environmental protection category, reflecting the organisation's commitment to sustainable development.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in supplying environmental goods such as growing mediums, transportation solutions, and organic materials. Small and medium enterprises, particularly those that can meet the product quality and pricing criteria, are well-placed to participate in similar future opportunities. Suppliers like Stevenage Packaging Limited, Everris Ltd, and W&D Oliphant have secured contracts, demonstrating the potential for diverse businesses to engage with large public sector projects. The framework agreement suggests these opportunities are likely to recur, offering avenues for sustained business growth in line with the expanding requirements of the redeveloped nursery and its capacity to support up to twenty-five million trees annually.

    Supply of Tree Nursery & Glasshouse Growing Sundry Items - Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) intends to appoint a Framework Agreement for the Supply of Tree Nursery & Glasshouse Sundry Items following the redevelopment project at our Newton Nursery, Elgin. Newton Nursery was established by the Forestry Commission in 1931, and it has not seen significant investment since the early 1980s, when the facilities were developed to service a growing programme of three (3) to four (4) million trees per year. The annual requirement has doubled since then, and will need to double again in the coming years. The redevelopment project is seeking to utilise innovative technology alongside developing the physical estate to meet these needs, now and into the future. Part of the redevelopment is the construction of a new state-of-the-art 12,000m2 Glasshouse, which will be around the size of two (2) football pitches and capable of growing up to nineteen (19) million trees per year. This modern addition will revolutionise our approach by providing a controlled environment to nurture our seedlings. By shielding them from invasive weeds and curious critters, FLS anticipate a significant boost in our germination success rate, aiming to achieve an impressive 80% germination rate for our seeds. Construction is anticipated to be completed by December 2024. Once the redevelopment is complete, Newton could have up to twenty-five (25) million trees growing on site in any one year, a significant increase from the seven (7) million trees FLS are currently able to produce. This tender exercise is for the sundry items that will be required for both the tree nursery and the new glasshouse.
