PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Government - SASA is procuring a field-boundary hedging service for its farmland at Gogarbank Farm, Edinburgh EH12 9FJ. The contractor will plant and maintain hedges along field boundaries. This is an environmental land-management service, classified under CPV 77310000 (planting and maintenance services of green areas). The work is for one requirement at the farm and is being bought by SASA on behalf of the Scottish Government. Suppliers should be able to plan and carry out hedging works in an agricultural setting, maintain the established boundaries and manage delivery at the Edinburgh site. The requirement is relevant to specialist countryside, grounds-maintenance, agricultural or environmental contractors with practical hedging capability.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 3 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids opened at the same time in Edinburgh. The estimated contract value is £75,000 GBP. The contract is for 120 days, with an option for a one-month extension. Offers must remain valid for 180 days after submission. Evaluation includes suitability criteria contained in the Single Procurement Document. The tender is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, bids must be submitted in English, and alternative bids are not allowed. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This opportunity suits a contractor able to deliver both new hedging and continuing maintenance on farmland, with the equipment, labour and operational capacity to complete a defined agricultural site service. It may be relevant to specialist hedge-laying and planting businesses, rural estate contractors, grounds-maintenance providers, landscaping firms and environmental land-management companies. The buyer requires tenderers to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work, so suppliers should have an identifiable, suitably qualified delivery team and be ready to evidence its suitability through the Single Procurement Document. Businesses able to manage planting, establishment and maintenance work as one service are particularly well placed to compete.
