Harvester and Forwarder Services Framework Agreement

Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) is establishing a multi-supplier framework agreement to procure harvester and forwarder services for efficient timber extraction and forest management operations across Scotland's nationally managed forest estate. This framework will enable FLS to access a pool of qualified suppliers for mechanical harvesting and log forwarding services on an ongoing basis. Suppliers selected for this framework must demonstrate capability in operating heavy forestry equipment, maintaining safety standards, and delivering services across diverse terrain and forest types throughout Scotland. The framework will streamline procurement processes and ensure consistent service availability for FLS's forest operations.
