Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by RSPB Scotland is for the "RSPB Insh Marshes - River Tromie Realignment Project" in the environmental protection industry category. The project involves the realignment of the last 400m of the River Tromie on the RSPB Insh Marshes reserve in Scotland, UK (region UKM6), specifically located within the Cairngorms National Park Authority. This tender is in the active stage and was initiated on 1st July 2025, with a submission deadline on 28th July 2025 at 5:00 PM. The anticipated start of the award period is 29th July 2025. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, facilitating electronic submissions via the Public Contracts Scotland portal.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental works, particularly those with expertise in river management and ecological projects. Companies that excel in excavation, embankment construction, and the formation of fish-friendly watercourses would be well-suited to bid. The constrained timeline, requiring work within limited periods in August and September, emphasises the necessity for efficient project management skills. Engaging in this project could bolster a company's portfolio within the environmental sector and establish a presence as a preferred supplier for future conservation projects within ecologically sensitive areas. By catering to the specified requirements, businesses can leverage this opportunity for growth and development in the environmental engineering field.

Notice Information

Notice Title

RSPB Insh Marshes - River Tromie Realignment Project

Notice Description

The realignment of the last 400m of the River Tromie through the excavation of a new channel, lowering embankments and formation of riffles and bars using river sediment.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This Project will realign the last 400m of the River Tromie as it flows across RSPB Insh Marshes reserve and joins the River Spey. The work involves excavation of a new channel and ditch embankments, transportation of that spoil to a storage area 1km away and creation of fish-friendly riffles, berms and bars in the new channel to ensure fish passage. The nature reserve is highly designated and the operation must be carried out in a very limited time window - normally August and September. However, the planning permission will be considered by the Cairngorms National Park Authority Planning Committee on the 29th August, so the earliest work could potentially start this year is the 1st September.
