## Summary

Scottish Natural Heritage, based in Inverness, is overseeing the procurement for facilitation during the reporter phase of establishing a new National Park or Parks in Scotland. The contract was recently awarded to Outside the Box, a small to medium-sized enterprise located in Glasgow. The procurement falls under the environmental protection industry category and involves delivering services in Galloway, covering parts of the Dumfries & Galloway Council, East Ayrshire Council, and South Ayrshire Council areas. Notably, the contract has an overall value of £35,845, was signed on 17 September 2024, and the procurement followed an open procedure with the tender process completed.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in public engagement and environmental consultation services. Companies capable of designing and executing effective public events, with robust reporting skills, stand a good chance of thriving in this procurement. Given the open procedure approach and the formal engagement required throughout the consultation period, businesses experienced in working with public sector initiatives and familiar with Scotland’s environmental regulation landscape would find this contract particularly beneficial for growth and expanding their services.
