Coverage: 7 active published awards; 7 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. Published-to-award variance 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 Unpublished data stays unknown.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
Scottish Forestry intends to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement that will provide essential support to Scottish Forestry by undertaking new research, performing analytical work against defined criteria, and factual reporting on evidence and recommendations in relation to tree health research across Scotland. This framework will directly contribute to the delivery of the strategic objectives outlined in Scottish Forestry’s Corporate Strategy and Plan 2025–2030.
Research activities under this framework will include support for Scottish Forestry in meeting its policy and regulatory responsibilities related to tree pests and diseases and may also include the requirement to work collaboratively and to present the research and findings to stakeholders.
