## Summary

The procurement process involves RSPB Scotland contracting for the "Glenmore non-native control" project, aimed at the removal of non-native tree species in the Abernethy area. This service falls within the environmental protection category, emphasising sustainable land management practices. The tender was initiated under an open procurement method, and the submission deadline was set for 18th October 2021, with the contract awarded on 26th October 2021. Currently, the awarded contract with a value of £46,700 is active and is set to conclude by 15th February 2023.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in environmental services, especially those with expertise in forestry and habitat restoration. Companies that specialise in ecological management, sustainable land use, and non-native species control will find this procurement particularly relevant. The contract's completion timeline and the responsible use of hand tools suggest that firms with experience in manual ecological interventions are best suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

Removal of all non-native tree species on the open hill (outlined in red on the attached map) using hand tools (e.g. bowsaw, pruning saw, loppers) - no chainsaw use will be allowed as part of this contract. All non-native trees (predominantly Sitka Spruce and Norway Spruce with some lodgepole pine, larch and western hemlock) are to be cut at ground level (below lowest whorl of branches) to prevent any regrowth. In many cases this will require heather or ground vegetation to be moved to allow access (easier to do when using pruning saws). Where small enough, trees should be hand pulled to remove roots as well. No native trees to be felled or damaged (e.g. Scots Pine, Birch, Rowan, Willows, Aspen, Juniper).
