Summary of the contracting process

Zulu Forest Ltd, trading as Zora Ecosystems, is buying works to restore approximately 174 hectares of actively eroding peatland at Diabaig Estate, Diabaig, Torridon, Highland. The project covers two phases and is the first peatland restoration project on the estate. It is being delivered in partnership with Diabaig Estate and NatureScot’s Peatland ACTION team. The work is environmental restoration, classified under CPV 45454100, and includes activity across defined work zones, including hand-labour areas. The requirement is supported by a Statement of Requirements, Restoration Design Plan, typical site conditions information, access and constraints maps, location maps and project boundary files. It will suit contractors able to undertake peatland restoration works in the Diabaig Estate site environment.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. Bids were due by 20 August 2026 at 17:00, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The evaluation and selection basis is the suitability information set out in the Statement of Requirements and Restoration Design Plan. The contract is planned to begin in summer 2027 and run for 720 days. The buyer entered 27 August 2026 as the date for notifying the preferred contractor, while clarifying that this is not the contract award date. The opportunity is dependent on funding being achieved. It is a single lot, with variants not allowed and no renewal or additional purchase options.

This opportunity suits experienced environmental contractors with practical capability in peatland restoration, particularly work on actively eroding peatland across a large, dispersed estate site. Suppliers should be able to interpret and work to a restoration design, Statement of Requirements, site-condition information, project boundaries and access constraints. The requirement is likely to favour organisations that can mobilise teams for phased delivery and coordinate activity across mapped work zones, including areas identified for hand labour. Experience working with landowners, environmental programmes or public-sector conservation partners would be relevant to demonstrating suitability, especially where it supports reliable delivery against an agreed restoration plan. Contractors should also be prepared for the site access and logistical demands of working in Torridon, Highland.
