A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is an electronic system established by a contracting authority to purchase commonly used goods, works or services in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Admittance to a DPS gives participants the opportunity to subsequently bid for relevant future opportunities which are procured through the DPS. The purpose of the DPS is to provide a compliant route to market for FLS to replace Planting Services and Maintenance contracts upon their expiration or termination. This is expected to consist of a range of long-term contracts for programmed requirements but will be used for short-term contracts when required. This DPS will not be used as a route to market for any other reason but may be used to procure innovative services related to the subject matter. The scope of the DPS is primarily for establishment operations including but not limited to: - Planting. - Beat up. - Weeding. - Top Up Spraying. - Herbicide application. - Fertilising. - Cleaning & Singling. - Respacing. - Brush cutter work. - Chainsaw work. - General Estate Labouring. Parties who request to be admitted to the DPS will have their submissions evaluated by FLS within 10 working days of submission (this deadline could be extended to a maximum of 15 working days in individual cases), and if successful, will be admitted to the DPS thereafter. ## Lots (5) ### Lot 1: Central - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 77300000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** Services as described in Section II.1.4) of the Contract Notice. - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 2: North - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 77300000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** Services as described in Section II.1.4) of the Contract Notice. - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 3: East - **Lot id:** `3` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 77300000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** Services as described in Section II.1.4) of the Contract Notice. - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 4: South - **Lot id:** `4` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 77300000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** Services as described in Section II.1.4) of the Contract Notice. - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 5: West - **Lot id:** `5` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 77300000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Description:** Services as described in Section II.1.4) of the Contract Notice. - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F070352-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-11-03T10:34:07.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-22T06:19:18.150Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-05d8b1
