SF_0567 - Research and Development Framework Agreement

Description

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.
