Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coignafearn Estate is procuring peatland restoration works at Coignafearn Estate near Tomatin, Inverness, in the Monadhliaths. The requirement covers one 100-hectare phase of complex blanket bog, including treatment of hagg and gully erosion, bare peat and micro-erosion. The works form part of the Estate’s wider peatland restoration programme, which covers approximately 750 hectares, and follow earlier drain restoration at the site. This is environmental improvement and restoration work, including earthmoving and related environmental services. The buyer is Coignafearn Estate, a private organisation whose contract is subject to Peatland ACTION funding. The requirement is a single lot and suppliers must submit in English.

The process has reached tender: Coignafearn Estate invited offers through an open procedure. Responses had to be submitted electronically by 12:00 on 31 August 2026. The contract is expected to start in April 2027 and run for 360 days. The buyer set 14 September 2026 as the date for notifying the preferred contractor; this is not the contract award date. The tender includes one lot, with no variants permitted and no renewal or additional-purchase options. The contract depends on funding being secured. Electronic ordering and electronic payment are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is classified as restoration work, with environmental improvement and earthmoving also covered.

This opportunity suits contractors experienced in peatland and blanket bog restoration, environmental improvement works and associated earthmoving. Suppliers need the practical capability to work across a complex bog landscape and apply appropriate techniques to hagg and gully erosion, bare peat and micro-erosion. Experience of restoring degraded peatland and working within a wider estate or landscape-scale programme would be relevant, particularly where contractors can coordinate several restoration techniques across one substantial site. The requirement is aimed at a suitably qualified contractor, so businesses should be able to demonstrate competent personnel, suitable equipment and delivery capacity for a substantial restoration phase. It may suit environmental contractors, specialist peatland restoration firms and earthworks businesses with relevant conservation experience.
