The project involves environmental protection activities focusing on Woodland features. The monitoring is scheduled to be completed by March 31st, 2024. Interested suppliers need to submit expressions of interest by January 29th, 2024, with the full Statement of Requirements to be provided to selected participants. The project offers opportunities for businesses in the environmental services sector, particularly those with experience in habitat assessment and conservation. This procurement process by NatureScot is currently in the planning stage, with a strong focus on environmental services. Businesses specialising in woodland monitoring, habitat assessment, and environmental conservation are well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Suppliers are encouraged to demonstrate relevant experience and submit their interest by the specified deadline. The project presents a chance for businesses to contribute to nature conservation efforts and showcase their expertise in environmental protection activities. ## Notice Woodland monitoring to be carried out in March 2024 in Glen Creran.
