## Summary

The public procurement contracting process for the tender titled "FM Operations - West Region - Mull" is in the award stage. The buying organisation, Forestry and Land Scotland, located in Inverness, United Kingdom, has awarded the contract to supplier R Watt on 14th March 2023. The procurement falls under the industry category of forestry services and used a limited procurement method without prior publication.

This tender opportunity provides potential growth for businesses in the forestry services sector, particularly those skilled in rapid planting and maintenance operations. Companies specializing in FM operations and forestry services, such as small and medium-sized enterprises like R Watt, are well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The awarded contract is for a period up to 30th September 2026, creating long-term business opportunities for successful suppliers in this industry.

## 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.
