## Summary

Forestry and Land Scotland has awarded a contract for FM Operations in the West Region of North Argyll. The procurement falls under the services category for forestry services and involves rapid planting and maintenance operations. The contract, with a value of £1,448,321, was signed on 24th November 2022. The awarded supplier is ICD Contracting Limited.

This contract represents a business opportunity for companies specializing in forestry services. Businesses involved in planting, restocking, beat-up activities, and ground maintenance operations would be well-suited to compete. Interested parties should note that the procurement method used was negotiated without publication, following a limited approach. The contract is expected to run until 30th September 2026, providing a long-term growth opportunity for eligible businesses.

## Notice

Rapid planting of a felled site can minimise weed growth (and hence reduce herbicide use) and the loss of nutrients / sediment from sites which may be needed to help improve the forest structure. FLS therefore require the planting programme including Restock and Beat-up and maintenance operations required to establish sites, excluding fencing, deer management and ground preparation. FLS may on occasion require the Service Provider to plant on sites pre-final felling (i.e. underplanting) or on sites without previous tree cover. This will be agreed with the Service Provider when setting out the annual programme.

### Lot Information

Up to an average of 150ha restock and 395ha of beat-up a year with maintenance and ground seed collection.
