Summary of the contracting process

The Cairngorms National Park Authority, located in Grantown-on-Spey, leads the Gaick Estate Peatland Restoration Project Coire na Coir South, focusing on environmental protection efforts within the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. This open procurement process, carried under the 'works' category, concluded with an award on 14 July 2025 following a tender stage that ended on 2 July 2025. The project aims to restore 125 hectares of erosion-affected peatland over a site area of 162 hectares, with work commencing in late July and concluding by 19 December 2025. A key aspect includes the innovative use of helicopter transports for stone units necessary for the restoration. The project was successfully awarded to Robertson Fencing LTD - t/a Taiga Upland, with a contract value of £519,666 under an open procedure.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental and restoration works, particularly those specializing in peatland restoration and related equipment operations, such as low ground pressure machinery and eco-friendly infrastructure solutions. SMEs like Robertson Fencing LTD - t/a Taiga Upland, which provided a competitive tender, illustrate the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises to engage in public sector projects, enhancing their portfolios and visibility within the sector. With secured Peatland ACTION funding, businesses can engage in collaborative efforts with environmental protection authorities, expanding expertise in sustainable and eco-friendly development initiatives in the region.
