Summary of the contracting process

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) is planning a public procurement process under the industry category 'Environmental protection'. The title of this process is "Deer and Other Wildlife", aimed at the collection, transport, and rendering or incineration of animal by-products from 37 deer larders across various locations in Scotland. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 17th November 2025. Interested suppliers are requested to complete a survey by 15:00 on 17th October 2025 to provide their insights and expertise, which could influence the development of the procurement process. Locations involved include regions such as Inverness-shire, Ross-shire, Dumfries, and several others across Scotland, reflecting a widespread and inclusive tender opportunity.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for companies involved in environmental and waste management services, particularly those specialising in animal by-products. Businesses with expertise in transportation and rendering/incineration within the specified UK regions would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms that are experienced in handling contracts with complex logistical requirements across multiple locations could gain an advantageous position. The procurement's projected value of £1.62 million offers a substantial commercial opportunity for successful bidders, enabling them to expand their engagement within government exchanges and reinforce their market presence in Scotland's public sector.
