## Summary

Historic Environment Scotland is seeking a supplier for the "Inchcolm Island Ferry and Grounds Maintenance Services" contract, which falls under the services category in the conservation and tourism industry. The location for this procurement is Inchcolm Island in the Firth of Forth, with a tendering deadline set for 18 March 2022. This open procurement process has been initiated under an open procedure, previously linked to the planning stage documented on 16 February 2022, and covers a duration of up to three years, with an option for a further two-year extension upon review.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the marine transport and grounds maintenance sectors.
