## Summary

The procurement process involves the Scottish Natural Heritage, which is located at Great Glen House, Leachkin Road, Inverness, UK. This contract, titled "Provision of Helicopter Services (Framework call-off)," falls under the services category, specifically focusing on environmental protection. The procurement method used is a restricted procedure, having reached the award stage following a complete tender process. The final contract, valued at £190,000, was signed on 30th June 2017 and pertains to providing helicopter aircraft and pilot services for deer counts during the 2017-18 period.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the aviation and environmental services sectors. Companies that can provide helicopter services, particularly those that can operate within the UK and have experience in ecological surveys or wildlife management, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The involvement of a central purchasing body like Scottish Natural Heritage emphasises the need for suppliers to align with public sector requirements, making this a strategic opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) seeking to expand their market reach in public procurement.
