Planting Services Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS)

Descriptions

FLS is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of Planting Services across Scotland’s national forests and land.

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 procure services which are unable to be provided through existing contracts or to replace contracts which have terminated or expired.

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
