Summary
The Agents Mandate Form is used when a forest owner or applicant wishes to appoint an agent or representative to handle all communications, submissions, and actions with Scottish Forestry relating to an STTS funding application.
The form captures:
- Applicant details – name, address, and contact information of the person or organisation granting authority.
- Agent details – name, organisation, and contact information of the appointed representative.
- Scope of authority – confirmation that the agent can act fully on the applicant’s behalf for the purposes of the STTS application process.
- Signatures – signed and dated by both the applicant and the agent to formalise the arrangement.
Using this form ensures Scottish Forestry can liaise directly with the appointed agent, streamlining the application process and avoiding delays. It should be completed clearly, in line with the current STTS guidance, and submitted alongside or before the main application form if an agent is acting for the applicant.
