Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission has recently completed a public procurement process titled "Peatland Restoration," aimed at restoring deep peatland habitats within Scotland's National Forest Estate. This procurement was initiated through an open tender procedure, categorised under environmental protection services, and involved multiple geographical areas across Scotland, including Inverness Ross and Skye, Lochaber, Tay and Moray, Cowal & Trossachs, and Dumfries & Borders. The tender period concluded on 20 October 2017, with an estimated total value of £12 million for the entire project, split into 10 lots covering various types of site rewetting and tree recycling works.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental restoration, land management, and forestry services. Companies capable of site modification and hydrology management would be particularly well-placed to compete, especially those with experience in tree recycling and adhering to environmental regulations. Given the estimated values of individual lots, ranging from £80,000 to £9.6 million, successful bidders could establish long-term partnerships with the Forestry Commission, contributing positively not only to their business expansion but also to environmental sustainability efforts in Scotland.
