## Summary

The public procurement process for the project titled "Heathland SPHN Shearing Felling" has been awarded to Artscape Gardens by Forestry and Land Scotland, a public agency focused on environmental protection. This contract, part of the forestry services industry, involves the removal of larch trees infected with Phytophthora Ramorum across an area of 18.68 hectares, to be completed by 1st September 2022. The procurement was carried out via a limited method, with no prior publication of a call for competition due to unsuccessful previous bids after a mini-competition.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies specialising in forestry and environmental services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in tree-clearing and similar projects would be particularly well-suited to compete in future tenders in this category. Engaging in such contracts not only allows businesses to contribute to environmental management initiatives but also enables them to build their portfolios and establish relationships with public sector organisations like Forestry and Land Scotland.
