Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has a requirement to procure a number of soil surveys to meet our requirement to manage the national forest estate. Survey requirements procured through this Framework include; - Site/soil surveys of afforested, clear felled, open land and ex-agricultural land. - Recording the site/soil patterns and associated specific data, using the FC soil classification. - Mapping Soil Polygons and associated linear and point data in a digital format. - Delivering all data outputs from the survey, as specific format GIS themes (currently a bespoke version of GIS Forester), together with associated attribute tables. - Producing written reports for each site - Bespoke type of soil survey e.g. Detailed mapping of peatland types in a mosaic and peat depth probing - Assessment of newly acquired land including possibly reclaimed land such as old mine works This PIN notice is for market engagement only. The decision about lotting structure has not been made and the information gathered from the market engagement will assist with this decision. At this time we know there will be lotting, however we do not know how many lots or what will be separated into lots.
