Environmental Surveys

Forestry and Land Scotland is inviting providers to supply a comprehensive range of environmental surveys that will support the management of the national forest estate. The surveys inform operational decisions, align with the Authority’s mission to steward Scotland’s forests and land for public benefit, and contribute to biodiversity enhancement, tourism growth, and rural economic resilience. The procurement is structured into multiple lots, each covering a specific geographic region or survey discipline, allowing specialists to bid on their area of expertise while ensuring consistent coverage across the entire estate.

The scope of work includes ecological surveys of animal, bird and plant species across five regional lots; habitat walkover surveys in four regions; invasive non‑native species surveys that cover Rhododendron in all regions; national peatland surveys covering depth assessment, condition monitoring and adherence to the Peatland Code; and national archaeological surveys in both walkover and measured forms. Each lot requires field teams skilled in the appropriate scientific and archaeological methods to deliver accurate, region‑specific data that will be used for regulatory compliance, conservation planning, and land management.

All surveys must be conducted in accordance with Forestry and Land Scotland’s environmental and archaeological standards, employing recognized protocols and quality controls.

Forestry and Land Scotland (the Authority) looks after the national forests and land to enhance biodiversity, support tourism, and increase access to the green spaces that will help improve Scotland’s physical and mental health and well-being. The Authority also continues to provide vital timber supplies to support a sustainable rural economy. Further information on who the Authority is and what it does can be found here: https://forestryandland.gov.scot/.
The Authority has a requirement for the provision of Environmental Surveys, as part of the process of managing the national forest estate. The surveys are utilised to make operational decisions which will impact of FLS’ mission ‘to look after Scotland’s forests and land, for the benefit of all, now and for the future’.

- Ecological Surveys (habitat walkover survey);
- Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) Surveys (including Rhododendron);
