Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Limited is procuring works to restore Gun Moor, an 81-hectare upland habitat on the western edge of the Peak District National Park. The project forms part of nature recovery and focuses on re-wetting areas of deep peat. The contractor will block a series of grips and surface drainage channels using a mixture of peat and stone interventions, with 448 interventions planned across the moorland. This is an environmental land-management and drainage works opportunity, involving peatland restoration, surface-water management and associated agricultural, forestry or related site works. Delivery is at Gun Moor in the Peak District area, associated with postcode ST13 8PR. The requirement is classified as works, with related classifications for peat and drainage and surface works.

The procurement has reached tender: Staffordshire Wildlife Trust invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure above threshold. Bids were due by 17 August 2026 at 23:59. The planned contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated contract value is £100,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The requirement is presented as a single package of works covering the planned peat and stone interventions at Gun Moor. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should assess the tender requirements and supporting specifications carefully, particularly the delivery arrangements for work on an upland peatland site and the practical scope of blocking grips and surface drainage channels.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized contractors with practical experience of peatland restoration, upland habitat management, grip blocking, drainage works or related earthworks. Relevant businesses are likely to have teams and equipment capable of working on remote or challenging moorland terrain, placing and shaping peat and stone, and completing numerous individual interventions consistently across a broad habitat site. Experience of protecting deep peat, managing surface water and carrying out environmentally sensitive works would be directly applicable. Contractors with complementary forestry, agricultural or conservation-land capabilities may also find the scope relevant. The requirement may suit specialist environmental civil engineering firms as well as established local groundworks businesses that can demonstrate the capacity to coordinate a substantial programme of interventions within the specified delivery period.
