Summary of the contracting process

The Cairngorms National Park Authority, in collaboration with the Scottish Government, has awarded a contract for the "Peatland Restoration - Dalnacardoch Estate Carn a'Mhurraich 2025" project, under the works category. This environmental protection initiative focuses on restoring 130 hectares of peatland at Dalnacardoch Estate, Cairngorms National Park, located in the region of UKM77. The procurement process employed an open procedure, starting from the tender stage in May 2025, with the award granted by the end of June 2025. The restoration work will commence in late July 2025 and is expected to complete by 15 November 2025. Peatland ACTION funding supports this project, ensuring all necessary resources are in place. The total contract, valued at £244,412.4, was awarded to Robertson Fencing LTD, trading as Taiga Upland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in environmental restoration, civil works, and resource management. Businesses proficient in large-scale land restoration, particularly those with experience in peatland or similar ecological projects, will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their portfolio. With an open procurement method, the competitive bidding process was straightforward, encouraging participation from SMEs and allowing them to leverage electronic submissions. Enterprises capable of delivering precise, fixed-price projects with restricted timelines and location-specific constraints can considerably benefit from engaging in such public works contracts, enhancing both their operational scope and market presence.
