## Summary

The procurement process for the tender titled "FM Operations - West Region - Mull" was awarded to Forestry and Land Scotland. The contract falls under the services category and involves the rapid planting of felled sites in the West Region of Mull. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is currently active, with a value of £638,600 signed on March 14, 2023. The buying organisation's details include Forestry and Land Scotland located in Inverness, UK.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in environmental protection services to engage in forestry operations in the West Region of Mull. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in planting programmes, maintenance operations, and environmental conservation would be well-suited to compete. The procurement stage has now progressed to the award phase, providing the chosen supplier, R Watt, with the opportunity to contribute to the establishment and maintenance of forest sites in the specified region.

## Notice

Rapid planting of a felled site can minimise weed growth (and hence reduce herbicide use) and the loss of nutrients / sediment from sites which may be needed to help improve the forest structure. FLS therefore require the planting programme including Restock and Beat-up and maintenance operations required to establish sites, excluding fencing, deer management and ground preparation. FLS may on occasion require the Service Provider to plant on sites pre-final felling (i.e. underplanting) or on sites without previous tree cover. This will be agreed with the Service Provider when setting out the annual programme.
