The contracting authority, Forestry and Land Scotland, has recently awarded a contract for woodland establishment services at Ashiestiel and West Bold, as part of its broader Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework FW0049. This award follows an open procurement procedure tailored to environmental protection services within the UKM region. The contract award was finalised on 27th June 2025, underlining the completion stage of this procurement process.
