Appraisal of Peat Landslide Hazard Risk Assessments

Notice Description

The Scottish Government Energy Consents Unit is seeking expert technical advice from qualified professionals on peat stability matters in relation to development proposals under section 36, 36C and 37 of the Electricity Act 1989.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government requires expert technical input from qualified professionals on peat stability matters at different stages in the process in dealing with Electricity Act Applications. In order to determine the applications described above, the Scottish Government requires access to technical expertise to audit the environmental information provided by developers against the Scottish Government Best Practice Guide referred to above; to make recommendations to Scottish Ministers on how any matters which fall short of best practice should be addressed; to provide advice and drafting input to Scottish Ministers on planning conditions which may be required to mitigate peat landslide risks; and to provide advice to Scottish Ministers on requirements for PLHRAs during EIA screening and scoping. These services may be required in the context on any of the applications under the Electricity Act which are determined by Scottish Ministers.

Options: It is not possible to predict exactly how many EIA development Electricity Act Applications or how many peat stability and landslide hazard risk assessments will be required to be appraised in the period of the service contract, as this is dependent on applications submitted by developers which the Scottish Government has no control over.

Renewal: The contract will be for a period of 24 months commencing on 29th November 2024, with the option to extend the contract by a further 12 months.
