The University of Stirling has completed the procurement process for a Framework Agreement for Arboricultural Services, aimed at providing forestry services in the Stirling region (UKM77). This procurement, classified under CPV code 77200000, follows an open procedure and was handled under the legal framework of the CELEX directive 32014L0024.
