PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Amenity Trust is procuring environmental services to restore 51 hectares of peatland on two hill apportionments near Selivoe, Shetland. The work is described as Peatland Action peatland restoration at Ayres of Selivoe and is intended to improve and restore degraded peatland habitat. Delivery will take place in the Selivoe area of Shetland, with the contract made with the land managers. This is an environmental protection opportunity suited to contractors specialising in peatland restoration, habitat management, ecological land works or related countryside services. The requirement concerns a defined rural site and substantial area of restoration rather than general consultancy or routine grounds maintenance. The buyer is Shetland Amenity Trust, which is also acting as a central purchasing body for this procurement.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for tenders was 28 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The bid opening was scheduled for 31 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with evaluation beginning at that time. The contract period is 2 August 2027 to 29 February 2028. The estimated procurement value is £200,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The tender is divided into one lot covering the full 51-hectare restoration requirement. Bids must be submitted in English and remain valid for 210 days. Variants are not allowed. Evaluation uses suitability criteria set out in the procurement documents, and tenderers must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The contract depends on Peatland Action funding being secured.

This opportunity suits environmental contractors able to plan and deliver peatland restoration across a sizeable, remote hill site in Shetland. Relevant suppliers are likely to include peatland, habitat-restoration and countryside-management specialists with the practical resources to undertake works across 51 hectares during the specified delivery period. The requirement favours organisations that can identify the staff who will perform the contract and provide their professional qualifications, so bidders should have a suitably qualified delivery team and clear responsibility for site management. Experience of peatland restoration, hill apportionments, ecological land management and working in rural island conditions would be commercially relevant to the scope. The opportunity may also suit a capable specialist subcontracting or delivery partnership, provided the bidding organisation can demonstrate the required suitability and name the personnel responsible for performance.
