The project entails surveying the presence and condition of Aspen trees throughout the Cairngorms National Park. This open procurement process, with a budget of £34,000, involves services and is scheduled under an open procedure with electronic submissions via the Public Contracts Scotland website. The closing date for electronic submissions is 17 August 2026 at noon, marking the end of the tender period and the beginning of the award period. The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with active involvement from the Cairngorms National Park Authority, based in Grantown-on-Spey, UKM62. This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in environmental surveying and ecological data collection. Firms with expertise in field surveying and data management relating to ecological projects would be well-suited to this tender. Due to the regional focus on the Cairngorms, companies with local experience or geographic adaptability stand to gain a strategic advantage. The project also presents an avenue for businesses to contribute to the Park's broader ecological goals, potentially leading to further opportunities in the environmental protection sector as the Park develops its wide-scale Aspen strategy. This is particularly beneficial for firms capable of leveraging modern survey technology, such as mobile applications specified for data recording in the project. ## Notice The Cairngorms National Park Authority ('The Park Authority') is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced applicant to field survey presence and condition of Aspen trees across the National Park. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Park Authority invites suitably qualified and experienced applicants to submit a tender to undertake field survey and data collection of Aspen trees across the National Park with accompanying provision of results to the Park Authority. Applicants may tender for all or only some of the geographical extent of survey required, and/or may submit a combined tender with an associate to cover the whole extent of survey required. Some Aspen survey data already exists so not all of the National Park extent will need to be surveyed. More details are given later in this document. Surveys are expected to be recorded using the Park Authorities bespoke mobile phone / tablet 'Aspen app' to record data. More details are given later in this document. Survey results will be used by the Park Authority to inform a Park wide Aspen strategy. This strategy will coordinate work to achieve a connected and fully ecological functioning network of Aspen trees and their reliant species. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL560402 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 17 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £34,000 | | Lots value | £34,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY | | Locality | GRANTOWN-ON-SPEY | | Post town | Perth | | Postcode | PH26 3HG | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Badenoch and Strathspey | | Westminster constituency | Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey | | Delivery location | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire, TLM62 Inverness and Nairn, Moray, and Badenoch and Strathspey, TLM71 Angus and Dundee City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 77211500 - Tree-maintenance services - 79311000 - Survey services - 90711100 - Risk or hazard assessment other than for construction - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 17 Jul 2026 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL560402 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL560402 Aspen Survey - The Cairngorms National Park Authority ('The Park Authority') is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced applicant to field survey presence and condition of Aspen trees across the National Park. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.cairngorms.co.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000837752 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=837752 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
