Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council procured works for the Murton MOD Area Victor West Peatland Restoration Project, through the North Pennines National Landscape Partnership Peatland Restoration Framework. The requirement is a peatland restoration project, classified as construction work. Delivery is in County Durham, England. The named project and framework indicate a specific restoration package rather than a general construction requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Dinsdale Moorland Specialists Ltd, an SME. Durham County Council used an open procedure through an existing framework agreement. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026, with a contract period from 5 October 2026 to 31 March 2027 and a maximum extent to 31 March 2028. The contract value is £395,493 excluding VAT (£438,981 including VAT). The contract includes a 12-month defect period from the contract end date. The procurement covered one lot. No award criteria or evaluation weighting is stated in the available process information.

This award shows demand from Durham County Council for specialist peatland restoration works delivered through the North Pennines National Landscape Partnership Peatland Restoration Framework. Suppliers looking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to undertake practical restoration and construction work in a peatland environment, and should be prepared to operate within a framework arrangement. The selected supplier is an SME, demonstrating that this scale of project was deliverable by a smaller specialist business. A credible competitor would need relevant experience and the operational capacity to complete a defined restoration project, including supporting the works through a post-completion defect period. The award provides a concrete example of the type of landscape restoration package this buyer commissions.
