## Summary

Forestry and Land Scotland is conducting a tender for the "FW0058 Timber Haulage" procurement process, centred on the haulage of small roundwood timber across various locations in Scotland and Northern England. This contract, valued at £17.7 million, includes multiple service lots and has a duration of up to 1440 days with a deadline for submissions set on 31st May 2019. The procurement method is an open procedure, with documents and further details available through their official procurement portal. All interested parties should take note of the need for relevant authorisations and insurances, and a significant focus on community benefits for awarded contracts.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) equipped to meet rigorous safety and operational standards would be particularly well-suited to compete.
