Description

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has established a framework agreement with external Contractors for the provision of Mechanised Ground Preparation services across Scotland's National Forests and Land (SNFL). FLS requires the services on various sites following the completion of harvesting operations and on woodland creation sites where ground needs to be prepared for forest establishment. FLS has existing contracts in place for the provision of these services. These existing contracts are FLS's primary route for the provision of the services across SNFL. The framework agreement will provide a compliant route to market for FLS to procure services which are unable to be provided through existing contracts or to replace contracts which have terminated or expired.
