Summary of the contracting process

Crosscut Forestry Ltd, located in Ross-Shire, has completed the procurement process for a peatland restoration project at Sutherland Estates in the Highland region. This contract falls under the works category in the environmental protection industry. The procurement utilised an open procedure method to ensure broad participation, culminating in an awarded contract to ACM Plant hire. The contract, signed on 1st October 2025, is valued at £238,696 and marks the completion phase of the procurement, having moved from the initial tender phase which started earlier in April 2025. The restoration project aligns with ecological improvement goals, with its implementation subject to a grant application's successful outcome.

This tender presents business growth opportunities primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in environmental restoration and related works. The procurement process was open to electronic submissions, facilitating broader accessibility for interested bidders. With all six bids from SMEs, including the successful bid from ACM Plant hire, the project highlights the potential for companies in the plant hire and environmental services sectors to engage in substantial public contracts. Businesses with competencies in ecological restoration and capabilities in handling grant-dependent project conditions would find this particular tender promising.
