## Summary

The Forestry Commission is initiating a tender for "Plant Passporting Annual Inspections" within the forestry services industry category. This procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with a tender period ending on 13 August 2020. A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will be established, allowing for mini-competitions to be held annually for the inspections and audits, with a total contract value of £1,030,000 and a contract period running from 1 November 2020 to 31 October 2030. The inspections will primarily take place in Scotland, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in forestry services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in plant inspections and compliance auditing. Companies that can meet the requirements for the DPS and are capable of participating in mini-competitions on an ad-hoc basis will find this an ideal prospect for business growth, with the potential for ongoing work over the next decade.

## Notice

We will be establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the inspections of plant passports and other associated inspections and audits. This DPS will allow competent authorities (CAs) to hold mini-competitions for work as and when required. Typically, we will hold these competitions annually although we may choose to run competitions at any point. The DPS will be live for 10 years (13 July 2020 - 12 July 2030).
