## Summary

Forestry and Land Scotland recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of plants. The contract was awarded to Trees Please Ltd with a value of £119,200. The procurement was conducted under an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to extreme weather events causing an urgent need to fulfil orders for 1.43 million trees. The buying organisation, Forestry and Land Scotland, located in Inverness, United Kingdom, identified a shortfall in their tree supply caused by weather conditions, leading to this contract opportunity in the services category within the forestry services industry.

This tender for the purchase of plants by Forestry and Land Scotland presents an opportunity for businesses involved in forestry services or plant supply. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Trees Please Ltd may find such procurement processes suitable for growth opportunities. The contract was awarded through a limited procurement method to address the urgent need for tree supply, offering a chance for businesses to contribute to the nursery's recovery from the impact of extreme weather events and to support the forestry services sector in the United Kingdom.

## Notice

At present Newton Nursery has back orders in excess of 3.6 million trees. Recent extreme weather events, in particular heavy rain creating flooded areas, and soft ground conditions at the nursery, meaning that the Nursery have been unable to lift grade and despatch sufficient plants to fulfil these orders. Under normal conditions the combination of nursery grown stock and already placed external plant supply would have been sufficient, however these weather events have created a shortfall of 1.43 million trees to fulfil these orders, which FLS require to purchase.
