## Summary

The Forestry Commission is seeking tenders for the project titled "Award of 714_0241 - Archaeological Work at Glentress," aimed at providing archaeological project services during the construction of luxury holiday cabins at Glentress Forest. This procurement falls under the services category and is set to take place in Fochabers, Scotland. The tender period runs from 16th November 2018 to 15th March 2019. The estimated contract value is £11,345, and the award has been given to GUARD Archaeology Ltd, following a competitive bidding process that attracted three proposals.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses engaged in archaeological services, particularly those with expertise in construction-related projects. Companies that specialise in environmental assessments, historical preservation, or provide specialised equipment for archaeological work are strongly positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Additionally, as the project is tied to the development of tourism infrastructure, businesses focused on community engagement and sustainable practices will be well-suited for participation in upcoming tenders related to this initiative.

## Notice

An opportunity has arisen for FES to partner with Forest Holidays to provide luxury holiday cabins at the Buzzards nest site at Glentress Forest. To facilitate this there needs to be a replacement of existing mountain biking facilities currently in use at Buzzards nest to the lower areas at Glentress Forest. This tender is to enable archaeological project services at Glentress Forest during the construction phase. The work will be undertaken in conjunction with main contractor or others on site.
