Proposed techniques and detailed requirements are set out in the Statement of Requirements. This is environmental restoration and civil engineering works, classified under CPV 45454100 for restoration work, with delivery at Corrour, PH30 4AA.

The scale and phased delivery will suit businesses with sufficient field teams, equipment, supervision and project-management capacity to work across substantial areas over several delivery years.
