## Summary

The recent procurement process overseen by Forestry and Land Scotland focused on securing a contract for recruitment media purchases, described under the title "Award of FLS-2239 - Recruitment Media Purchases." This procurement falls under the services industry, specifically within the environmental protection category. The contract was awarded in the UK, particularly covering the region of Scotland (UKM), with the procurement status noted as complete as of 7th October 2025. The procurement was conducted through a limited method without prior publication due to technical stipulations, aligning with Regulation 33(3)(b), to ensure compatibility with existing systems. The contract, valued at £90,000 GBP, was awarded to Veritone UK on 2nd September 2025.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies providing specialised media buying services linked to recruitment systems, specifically those capable of maintaining technical compatibility with existing platforms used by Forestry and Land Scotland. SMEs operating within the niche of recruitment media purchases with expertise in seamless integration with existing job board systems are well-suited to compete for such opportunities. Although this specific award process is complete, understanding the criteria and procurement methods applied can aid similar businesses in preparing for future tenders within this sector.

## Notice

Contract for media buying service purchase credits for job boards, that is linked to an already integrated system between Forestry and Land Scotland's recruitment system and the awarded organisation's jobs board platform.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Contract for media buying service purchase credits for job boards, that is linked to an already integrated system between Forestry and Land Scotland's recruitment system and the awarded organisation's jobs board platform.

### Procurement Information

The additional purchases are required from the same supplier that provides the system related to the recruitment media purchase credits, as a change of supplier would oblige Forestry and Land Scotland to procure supplies with differing technical characteristics. This would create incompatibility and/or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and ongoing maintenance. The legal basis is consistent with Regulation 33(3)(b). The risks of incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulty are valid and substantiated, supporting the case for continued use of the current supplier.
