## Summary

Forestry and Land Scotland, a public body governed by public law, recently awarded a contract for FM Operations in the North Region of Inverness. The contract falls under the services category with a main procurement category of forestry services. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was signed on 24th November 2022 with a total value of £1,349,450. The award was granted to Forestry Contractors Scotland.

This tender presents business growth opportunities for companies specializing in forestry services, particularly those capable of rapid planting and maintenance operations for forestry sites. As the contract involves restocking and beat-up operations on designated sites, businesses with expertise in tree planting and ground maintenance would be well-suited to compete. Interested bidders may explore similar future opportunities with Forestry and Land Scotland, leveraging their experience in providing forestry services in the specified region to secure contracts in this industry sector.

## 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
