## Summary

The procurement process involves Scottish Forestry, based in Edinburgh, seeking to establish a framework for Arboriculture services across Scotland. This open tender, titled "Scottish Forestry Arboriculture Services Scotland Framework," aims to provide vital services for felling and cross-cutting trees affected by harmful insects and pathogens. The tender was initiated on June 22, 2021, with a submission deadline of July 26, 2021, and offers a total contract value of £60,000. The procurement falls under the environmental protection industry category and is currently at the award stage, having already been assigned to three suppliers: M&H Tree Services Ltd, Murray Forestry Ltd, and Wakeley Tree Surgeons.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in forestry services, particularly those focused on tree felling and environmental management. Companies that are adept at handling tree care, particularly with experience in managing trees affected by pests and pathogens, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate relevant expertise and hold necessary insurance could benefit from this framework agreement, which is set to last up to four years with optional extensions.
