## Summary

Forestry and Land Scotland completed a tender process for the management of invasive vegetation control in the West Region - South. The contract has been awarded to ICD Contracting Limited for a total value of up to 4,040,000 GBP, running until 30 September 2026. The procurement method used was a negotiated procedure without prior publication of a call for competition.

This opportunity to manage invasive vegetation provides business growth potential for companies offering forestry services. Businesses specialising in environmental protection, particularly in forestry services, are well-suited to compete for this tender. The location of the work is in the west of Scotland, aligning with the Scottish Government's commitment to restore rainforests, creating opportunities for long-term environmental projects.

## Notice

Management of all types of vegetation (woody or herbaceous) that is deemed an invasive species on a designated or conservation site which are outside of the establishment operations. Woody species include all tree species and shrubs such as Hemlock, Rhoddendron and Gaultheria. Herbaceous species include all specified noxious weeds, Japanese knotweed and shall include other species such as; Gunnera, Balsam and Skunk Cabbage. The majority of the work in the west of Scotland under this tender forms part of the Scottish Government's commitment to restoring Scotland's rainforests. It is therefore the first stage of a longer term programme of work, which will in due course involve similar work on private- and third-sector land, in addition to the national forests and land.
