Summary of the contracting process

Forestry and Land Scotland has completed the procurement process for the "Delivery of Land Management Plans," focusing on the environmental protection sector. This contract, valued at £104,655, deals with services related to reviewing and delivering land management plans for multiple areas including Rosarie and Greenhills, Kinnoull and Paddockmuir, Midmar, and Newtyle. The contracting was managed under a limited procurement method due to extreme urgency caused by unforeseeable events, allowing no prior publication of a call for competition. This procurement process, taking place in the region of Inverness, UK, proceeded to the award stage on 31st March 2025, with the contract now active.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services and land management. Companies like Bidwells, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), were successful in securing the contract. Organisations with expertise in land management and who can respond rapidly to urgent needs are well-suited to participate in similar procurements. Despite the use of a limited procedure in this case, recognising opportunities to offer strategic solutions for urgent or specialised requirements can drive significant business growth for skilled suppliers in the sector.
