## Summary

The Forestry Commission is currently engaged in a procurement process for "Concessions - Recreational Deer Management Permissions (RDMPs)" in the environmental protection sector. This open procedure aims to invite bids for agreements that enable recreational stalkers to assist in managing deer-related impacts on the National Forest Estate. The tender period ends on 10th May 2018, with the award period commencing the same day. The activities will take place within the region of Edinburgh, Scotland (UKM). The contracts aim to address specific lots, including Clauchrie, Langburnshiels, and Twiglees, each requiring specific attention to the culling of deer to mitigate negative impacts on the environment.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in land management, environmental services, and wildlife control. Companies equipped with expertise in deer management and a proven track record in conservation efforts would be well-suited to compete. The chance to participate in managing the National Forest Estate may appeal particularly to larger service providers looking to expand their portfolios in government contracts, whereas smaller firms specialising in environmental solutions could also leverage this opportunity to establish credibility within the public sector.
