## Summary

The procurement process involves Savills on behalf of Crown Estate Scotland, seeking qualified tree safety inspectors to conduct Visual Tree Assessments (VTA) across three high-risk zones within the Fochabers Estate in Scotland. This open tender process is currently in the award phase following the contract signing on 7th May 2021. Bids were accepted until the submission deadline of 26th March 2021, with a competitive range of valid bids between £4,000 and £11,186. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focusing on land and property management.

This project presents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in environmental assessment, tree management, and safety consultancy services. Businesses experienced in Visual Tree Assessments or similar forestry services would be particularly well-placed to compete, as the tender highlights the need for expertise in identifying tree-related hazards. Participating in such tenders can facilitate growth through expanded service offerings and establishing long-term relationships with organisations like Crown Estate Scotland.
