## Summary

Forestry and Land Scotland has awarded the contract for Invasive Vegetation Control - West Region to BlueGreen Conservation. The procurement process was initiated through a limited Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract aims to manage invasive vegetation species in designated or conservation sites in the UK, addressing the lack of bids due to limited local suppliers and the lot's extensive geographic scope.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services. Companies with expertise in forestry services and horticultural services could find this tender well-suited for growth. The awarded contract has a value of £295,000 and was signed on 2nd July 2024, offering potential suppliers a chance to contribute to environmental protection initiatives in the West Region of Scotland's National Forests and Land.

## Notice

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.

### Procurement Information

The recent regulated tender process (C0209) in the West Region of Scotland's National Forests and Land did not receive any bids. This lack of interest is attributed to the limited number of local suppliers, the extensive geographic scope of the lot, and its high value. To address this urgent and critical shortfall in capacity for delivering environmental programs, the West Region necessitates a Non-Competitive Action.
