Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process described involves Forestry and Land Scotland, headquartered at Great Glen House, Inverness, as the buying organisation. The contract, titled "Award of Framework Call off Contract - FLS-2384 - Recruitment of seasonal staff for Newton Nursery dispatch season 25/26", falls under the services category of environmental protection. This procurement complements the broader Crown Commercial Services Non Clinical Staffing Framework Agreement. As of 2nd October 2025, this contract is in the award stage, and it is particularly focused on the Inverness region (UKM), with a direct award procedure being utilised to expedite the call-off from the framework agreement. The contract was signed with HAYS on 22nd September 2025, valued at GBP 197,688.4.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in non-clinical staffing services, especially those with expertise in providing seasonal and temporary staff solutions. Ideal candidates include staffing firms familiar with framework agreements and those capable of swiftly deploying personnel during peak operational periods. Given the procurement’s reliance on a direct award from an established framework, businesses already aligned with Crown Commercial Services have a competitive advantage. The procurement fosters growth for firms ready to engage with public sector forestry projects, particularly in environmental and land management sectors.
