Procurement and tender opportunities

Procurement and tender opportunities

The contracts we procure support all areas of our business, including:

  • land management
  • recreational services

Much of the work undertaken on Scotland's national forests and land is carried out by small to medium enterprises or micro-businesses.

Our management of contract opportunities 

We use standard sets of terms and conditions.  For works contracts we primarily use industry standard contracts such as NEC4 (New Engineering Contract version 4) . All our conditions can be tailored when needed. For more complex contracts we may use alternative or bespoke contracts.

Good, works and services

High value 

Tenders worth over £50,000 for goods and services, or over £2,000,000 for works, will be processed through the PCS-Tender system.

Low value 

We use the PCS Quick Quote facility to invite quotes for low value goods, works and services. To be invited to quote we recommend that suppliers are registered on the Public Contracts Scotland website. This is a standard process used by public sector buyers. Find out more about this process on the Scottish Government’s Supplier Journey website.
