Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution PLC has completed the procurement process for the "OO Services Peatland Rewetting Evenlode 0328" project, aimed at restoring 99.2 hectares of lowland peatland within the SEPD license area. The procurement method was a direct award to Evenlode Landscape Recovery Limited, reflecting their unique expertise in ecological enhancement to meet regulatory compliance standards set by Ofgem.

The procurement stage concluded with the award notice published on 21 April 2026, with the contract period set from 28 April 2026 to 30 March 2028.

This approach benefits businesses by providing a platform to display their unique capabilities in delivering measurable ecological outcomes, thereby meeting stringent environmental commitments required by large utility companies in compliance with regulatory standards.
