Notice Information

Notice Title

Appraisal of Peat Landslide Hazard Risk Assessments

Notice Description

The Scottish Government has a requirement to place a contract with an external service provider for the provision of expert technical input from qualified professionals on peat stability matters. This input is required at different stages in the process of dealing with Electricity Act Applications.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Scottish Government requires access to technical expertise to audit the environmental information provided by developers against the Scottish Government Best Practice Guide for Proposed Electricity Generation Developments (published at https://www.gov.scot/publications/peat-landslide-hazard-risk-assessments-best-practice-guide-proposed-electricity/), including: to make recommendations to Scottish Ministers on how any matters which fall short of best practice should be addressed; to provide advice and drafting input to Scottish Ministers on planning conditions which may be required to mitigate peat landslide risks; and to provide advice to Scottish Ministers on requirements for PLHRAs during EIA screening and scoping. These services may be required in the context on any of the applications under the Electricity Act which are determined by Scottish Ministers.

Options: It is not possible for the Scottish Government to predict exactly how many EIA development Electricity Act Applications or how many peat stability and landslide hazard risk assessments will be required to be appraised in the period of the service contract, as this is dependent on applications submitted by developers which the Scottish Government has no control over. As a result, all related services required during the period of contract will be purchased through this contract where possible.

Renewal: Option to extend contract by 12 months.
