Summary of the contracting process

The National Trust recently awarded a contract for the Abergwesyn Hill Common Peatland Restoration project. The initiative, based in Breconshire, aims to restore peatland by implementing environmental improvements such as reprofiling peat hagg cliffs, Molinia mulching, and water table management through dam construction. This contract was tendered to attract highly qualified service providers experienced in peatland restoration, specifically those capable of operating in remote and environmentally sensitive areas. The restoration works began on 1st August 2023 and were completed by the end of October 2023. The procurement stage is currently at the Award phase, with the contract signed on 23rd May 2025. The procurement method was open, welcoming various contractors to submit their offers by the deadline of 9th June 2023.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those with expertise in peatland and environmental rehabilitation. Companies that are equipped with the necessary machinery and possess experience in handling remote conservation projects could find such tenders highly advantageous for expansion. The requirement for understanding environmental management and having Constructionline verification suggests that businesses that have robust credentials in these areas would be well-suited to engage in such contracts. The National Trust's focus on sustainable and restorative ecological solutions further sets a precedent for consistent procurement ventures that can drive growth for environmentally conscious enterprises.
