Planned Procurements

This information is provided in our Annual Procurement Report.

We will always do our best to provide an accurate pipeline. Plans do and will change. If you would like to find out more about the scope of any future procurements please contact us at procurement@forestryandland.gov.scot. 

We carry out pre-market engagement in the form of a Prior Information Notice (PIN), published on Public Contracts Scotland. We do this to inform planned procurements. Potential bidders are encouraged to engage with PIN processes, which will help develop tender requirements. Where known, the expected route to market has been indicated. However, this may change as the tender strategy is developed and for some procurements, this is currently unknown.

To find any of our live PIN notices you can ‘Search Notices’ in PCS and search for Buyer Forestry and Land Scotland, Notice Type ‘Future Opportunities’.
