Summary of the contracting process

RSPB Scotland, based in Edinburgh, has awarded a contract for the Peatland Restoration project at RSPB Lumbister, Yell, Shetland, with the title "Peatland restoration; RSPB Lumbister, Shetland 2024" under the environmental protection category. The procurement process, which used an open procedure method, has moved from the tender stage (announced on 30 August 2024) to the award stage, concluding with the contract signed on 28 November 2024. The project involves extensive ditch blocking with peat dams, reprofiling of eroded ditches, and addressing micro-erosion. The main site for the works is located on the RSPB Lumbister nature reserve in Mid Yell, Shetland, with the relevant procurement documents accessible via Public Contracts Scotland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in heavy machinery and environmental restoration, specifically those with expertise in peatland restoration and experience in handling various restoration techniques under challenging conditions. The project, covering a 61.5ha section, necessitates the use of low ground pressure machinery and possibly bog mats to ensure minimal soil disturbance. Large-scale and specialist contractors like S G Johnson Building Contractors, who have successfully secured the contract valued at £126,281.51, would have been well-suited to participate. The ongoing nature of this restoration work, starting from 2021 and extending into future years, creates opportunities for continued participation and potential long-term business growth in the environmental conservation sector.

Lot Information

Lot 1

RSPB Scotland Lumbister is a 1,587-hectare nature reserve in Yell, one of Shetland's northern isles, with over half of the site designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Protection Area (SPA). These designations recognise the internationally important blanket bog habitat present across Lumbister. Significant areas of Lumbister have been drained in the past for agriculture, and have also suffered from overstocking with livestock. Scotland's peatlands represent one of the most significant carbon stores, but large areas are degraded often as result of historic patterns of land management. Degraded peatlands release carbon thus contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect. In light of this, the RSPB has been undertaking peatland restoration at Lumbister since 2021 and we are now looking to continue this work over the coming years. The restoration work included in this invitation to tender is Phase 2 Y2 of a 61.5ha section of peatland restoration works. There has been an initial seas

These designations recognise the internationally important blanket bog habitat present across Lumbister. Significant areas of Lumbister have been drained in the past for agriculture, and have also suffered from overstocking with livestock. Scotland's peatlands represent one of the most significant carbon stores, but large areas are degraded often as result of historic patterns of land management. Degraded peatlands release carbon thus contributing to the enhanced greenhouse effect. In light of this, the RSPB has been undertaking peatland restoration at Lumbister since 2021 and we are now looking to continue this work over the coming years.
