Interested parties are encouraged to contact the organisation via email or telephone for further information. The Future Notice date is scheduled for 5 August 2019. This procurement opportunity allows businesses involved in forestry services, particularly those with expertise in complex extraction techniques such as skyline or cable crane harvesting, to engage with Forestry and Land Scotland.
