PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Natural Heritage, trading as NatureScot, is seeking services for proposed peatland restoration at Penicuik Estate, covering the Auchencorth and Hare Mosses in Midlothian. The work is an environmental protection and restoration requirement, with the detailed scope set out in the statement of requirements and accompanying appendices, including mapped shape files. The contract is intended to be with the landowners rather than NatureScot itself, and is dependent on funding being achieved. This opportunity suits contractors delivering practical peatland or habitat restoration work in Midlothian, particularly those able to work across the specified estate and mosses and to comply with the project requirements and site information.

The process reached tender: NatureScot invited offers through a single-lot open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for tenders was 31 August 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The planned evaluation and bid opening was 1 September 2026 at 10:00 UTC, and the notice records the week of 7 September 2026 for notifying the preferred contractor rather than making the contract award. The contract period is 1 September 2027 to 29 February 2028. The contract is conditional on funding being secured. Bids must be in English, remain valid for 210 days, and cannot include variants. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, with electronic invoicing permitted.

This opportunity is relevant to environmental contractors and land-management businesses with the operational capability to undertake peatland restoration at two moss locations within the Penicuik Estate. It is particularly suited to suppliers whose teams can interpret the statement of requirements, appendices and geographic shape files, plan and deliver restoration activities across the estate, and coordinate with the landowners who will hold the contract. Tenderers must provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff proposed for the work, so bidders should have an identifiable, suitably qualified delivery team. Businesses able to manage environmental protection work and demonstrate the personnel capacity to deliver the specified restoration programme are best placed to compete.
