Notice Information
Notice Title
Peatland Requirements (Cumbria)
Notice Description
United Utilities (UU) has several regulatory obligations across multiple work packages, including: * Full peatland survey and resurvey programmes, including condition assessments and vegetation surveys. * Production of restoration plans, including scoping, mapping, prescriptions, phasing and cost estimation. * Planning, permissions and procurement, covering SSSI consents, landowner liaison, and contractor oversight. * Direct oversight of restoration work, including remedial works on sites previously restored by UU and partners. * Carbon assessments and Peatland Code calculations, supporting carbon accounting and investment readiness. * Specialist monitoring, including water table loggers, peat depth, surface flow, water storage, grazing impacts, and drone surveys.
Procurement Information
The requirement is a continuation of services that have already been delivered under partnership arrangements and re-tendering these services or appointing a new supplier would disrupt delivery and compromise the integrity of ongoing programmes.
