Summary of the contracting process

Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority is procuring survey services to support its Landscape Connections programme and planned removal of invasive rhododendron. The work concerns Rhododendron ponticum and its hybrids, which threaten native woodlands and remaining rainforest habitats across the National Park. The Authority’s priority is to work with land managers to eradicate the invasive plants. Delivery is within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. The requirement is classified as technical testing and analysis services (CPV 71621000).

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline set for bids was 16 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC; bids were also scheduled to open at that time. The contract period is 150 days. The estimated value is £29,167. There is one lot, covering the rhododendron survey requirement, and the buyer may include related activity as an option. Variant bids are not allowed, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. The contract is not stated to be renewable. The process has reached tender; no award is recorded in this release.

This opportunity is suited to environmental survey providers with the capability to assess invasive rhododendron populations and support land managers working towards eradication. Experience with Rhododendron ponticum and its hybrids, invasive plant surveys, woodland ecology or rainforest habitat protection would be directly relevant to the requirement’s stated purpose. Suppliers should be able to undertake the work across the National Park within the specified contract period and provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to delivery. The requirement also includes community benefits, with the expected benefits described in the tender documents. Electronic payment and ordering are planned, and electronic invoicing is permitted.

As part Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Landscape Connections, we will be delivering a programme of invasive rhododendron removal. The invasive species Rhododendron ponticum and its hybrids (hereafter referred to as invasive rhododendron), is widespread across the National Park.

Working with land managers to eradicate invasive rhododendron is therefore a priority for the National Park Authority.
