PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is seeking offers to let approximately 12.47 hectares (30.82 acres) of land at Auchtertool, Fife, for equine grazing or livestock grazing. The opportunity is for a lease or short limited-duration tenancy, rather than for the delivery of a conventional service or construction project. It may suit horse owners, farmers, livestock keepers, equestrian businesses and land-management operators seeking grazing land. The land is intended to support grazing for horses, ponies and/or other livestock. Fife Council is the buying organisation and landlord for this opportunity. The requirement is classified under CPV 92000000, covering recreational, cultural and sporting services, although the practical subject is the letting and use of land for grazing. A continuing requirement to let this land is likely.

The process has reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with the closing deadline set for 5 August 2026 at 12:00. Bids were scheduled to be opened at that time. The single lot covers the lease of land for grazing, with a contract period of 1,800 days. The lot does not allow variants and has no renewal option. Applicants must comply with all statutory requirements relating to use of the land; full terms and conditions apply. Electronic payment and ordering are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract or award value is stated in the procurement information.

This opportunity suits suppliers or applicants with a practical need for grazing land and the ability to manage horses, ponies or livestock on approximately 12.47 hectares. Relevant experience may include equine husbandry, livestock keeping, agricultural land management or operating a grazing business, although the published requirement does not set out formal experience or accreditation thresholds. The successful applicant must be able to use the land lawfully and comply with all statutory requirements applying to its use. Applicants should be comfortable preparing and submitting an electronic offer in English and working within a fixed lease or tenancy arrangement. The requirement may be particularly relevant to local farmers, equestrian operators, livestock businesses and other organisations seeking a sizeable grazing holding. A continuing letting requirement may create future opportunities for suitable land users.
