Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has initiated an open procurement process for an equine or grazing licence over 3.24 hectares of land in Newburgh, Fife, suitable for horses, ponies, and livestock. Classified under the "General public services" industry category, this tender provides a unique opportunity in the services sector and is currently in the tender stage. Interested businesses have until 5 June 2025 at noon to submit their proposals electronically. The process is open and publicised through the Public Contracts Scotland site, facilitating electronic submissions and notifications. The awarded contract may start immediately following the tender closure date, signifying an imminent procurement phase.

This tender presents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in equine or agricultural services, particularly those with expertise in land management and animal husbandry. The ideal candidates are organisations with capabilities to sustainably manage grazing land while adhering to statutory requirements. As the procurement allows for electronic submissions and falls under a recurring need for land leasing, companies with robust digital submission processes and experience in public bidding will have a competitive edge. The open procedure encourages a wide range of companies to participate, offering potential for growth and portfolio expansion within the regional public services sector.
