Summary of the contracting process

Buglife is buying meadow creation services across three sites in the Scottish Borders, Dumfries and Galloway, and Northumberland. The work covers cutting and removing existing grassland vegetation, disposing of the cuttings, scarifying the ground and seeding with native wildflower seed mixes supplied by Buglife. This is an environmental land-management and habitat-creation requirement, classified under CPV 77315000 for horticultural or landscape-related services. The procurement is for work at locations in Scotland and Northumberland, so it suits contractors able to plan and deliver operations across these areas. Buglife is the buying organisation and is also acting as the central purchasing body for the requirement. The scope is organised as a single lot covering all three geographic areas.

The procurement reached tender: Buglife invited offers through an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 31 August 2026 to 7 October 2026, with bids required to remain valid until 7 October 2026. The estimated value for the single lot is £18,000. Offers were due to be opened on 18 August 2026 at 08:00 UTC, with the award period beginning at that time. Evaluation is based on suitability against all conditions stated in the procurement documents. Variants are not allowed. Responses must be in English, and electronic invoicing is permitted. The procedure is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits specialist grounds-maintenance, habitat-creation, ecological landscaping and land-management contractors with the equipment, labour and operational experience to work across three sites. Suppliers need to be capable of cutting and removing established grassland vegetation, arranging disposal of cuttings, scarifying soil and establishing meadow habitat through seeding. Buglife supplies the native wildflower seed mix, allowing the contractor to focus on site preparation and delivery of the works. The requirement favours businesses that can coordinate a short, geographically spread programme and provide appropriately qualified personnel. Staff names and qualifications must be included, so bidders should be able to identify the people responsible for delivery and demonstrate their relevant competence. It is particularly relevant to contractors experienced in practical biodiversity or wildflower-meadow creation work.
