Summary of the contracting process

Zulu Forest Ltd, trading as Zora Ecosystems, is seeking works contractors for peatland restoration at Talladh a Bheithe Estate. The project will restore an actively eroding peatland area in collaboration with the estate and NatureScot’s Peatland ACTION team. The work will be delivered in several phases and includes restoration design and construction activities for the site. The delivery location is Bridge of Ericht, Perth and Kinross, Scotland. This is an environmental protection and land restoration opportunity, classified under CPV 45454100 for restoration work. The requirement is presented as one lot and is intended for contractors able to undertake practical peatland restoration in challenging estate conditions.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Responses must be submitted electronically in English by 20 August 2026 at 17:00 UTC; bids are opened at the same time. The proposed contract will run for 540 days, with restoration expected to begin in summer or autumn 2027. The buyer entered 27 August 2026 as the date for notifying the preferred contractor, rather than the contract award date. The opportunity is dependent on funding being secured. Evaluation is based on suitability against the requirements in the Statement of Requirements. Bids cannot include variants. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits environmental contractors with demonstrated peatland restoration capability, including the practical delivery of measures to stabilise and repair actively eroding peatland. Suitable suppliers are likely to be able to work across an estate setting, interpret restoration designs and spatial information, manage phased site activities, and operate safely where access and site constraints affect delivery. The requirement calls for staff names and professional qualifications, so bidders should have an identifiable team with relevant technical competence and experience. It is well suited to firms experienced in working with landowners, environmental bodies and public funding programmes, and able to coordinate design, mobilisation and construction work through to completion. Contractors should also have the organisational capacity to manage a substantial, multi-phase restoration programme.
