Summary of the contracting process

RSPB Scotland is procuring hydrological and land-management works at RSPB Portmore Lough, 1M George’s Island Road, Aghalee, Craigavon, Northern Ireland. The requirement covers cleaning and reprofiling ditches, installing drainage and repositioning bridges. It is a works contract intended to improve and manage site drainage and watercourses within the nature reserve. The procurement is funded through PEACEPLUS, a cross-border programme supported by the European Union, the UK, the Irish Government and the Northern Ireland administration. The opportunity may suit civil engineering, drainage, earthworks and environmental contractors able to carry out practical works on a protected-site setting. RSPB Scotland is the buying organisation and central purchasing body.

The process has reached tender: RSPB Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 17 August 2026 at 17:00. Bids were due to be opened on 18 August 2026 at 09:00, with evaluation scheduled to start at that time. The contract period is 1 September to 31 December 2026. This is a single-lot requirement. Bids must be submitted in English and remain valid for 180 days; alternative bids are not permitted. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The contract has no renewal or additional-purchase option.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical capability in excavator and earthmoving operations, ditch cleaning and reprofiling, drainage installation, and small-scale bridge repositioning. Relevant firms are likely to include civil engineering, water-management, drainage, rural infrastructure and environmental works specialists. The work requires a team and equipment able to undertake several connected activities on one site, coordinate sequencing between excavation, drainage and bridge works, and deliver safely in an outdoor nature-reserve environment. Contractors with experience managing hydrological or land-drainage works, working around existing watercourses and access constraints, and completing site-based construction tasks to an agreed programme should find the requirement relevant. The cross-border environmental funding context may also suit businesses familiar with publicly funded conservation or infrastructure projects.
