Coverage: 47 active published awards; 47 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
We wish to put in place a framework agreement for the provision of helicopter and pilot services. Geographically, the framework will cover all of Scotland, including the islands (with potential for some future work to be carried out in Northern Ireland). The following collaborative partners will also be eligible to use the framework and will each conduct their own call-offs: National Trust for Scotland, Historic Environment Scotland, Scottish Forestry, Forestry and Land Scotland, Association of Deer Management Groups and Scottish Fire & Rescue Service.
