OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coignafearn Estate is buying peatland restoration works for one 100-hectare phase of complex blanket bog at the Estate near Tomatin, in the Monadhliaths. The work forms part of a wider restoration programme covering approximately 750 hectares. The site requires treatment of hagg and gully erosion, bare peat and micro-erosion, using a range of restoration techniques. Drains at the site have already been restored. The requirement is classified as environmental protection works, including land restoration and peat extraction-related activities (CPV 45454100). Coignafearn Estate is the buyer, with the Scottish Government also identified as a buyer. Delivery is at Coignafearn Estate, Inverness-shire. The opportunity suits contractors operating in upland peatland, blanket bog and habitat restoration, particularly those able to manage complex rural sites and associated access requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: Coignafearn Estate invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. Bids were due by 12:00 UTC on 31 August 2026, when bids were also scheduled to open. The intended evaluation and preferred-contractor notification date was 14 September 2026; this was not the contract award date. The contract is for a single lot covering the 100-hectare restoration phase, with a duration of 360 days and proposed work starting in April 2027. Variants and renewals are not allowed. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is permitted. The contract depends on funding being secured. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity is aimed at suitably qualified peatland restoration contractors with practical capability in complex blanket bog environments. Relevant suppliers will need to plan and deliver measures for hagg and gully erosion, bare peat and micro-erosion, applying several restoration techniques across a substantial rural site. Experience working on remote upland estates, managing site access and coordinating restoration activities at scale would place a contractor well. The requirement also suits businesses able to work within a wider, multi-phase estate programme and to build on existing drainage restoration. Contractors should be prepared for a delivery period of about one year and have the workforce, plant, environmental management systems and technical supervision needed for a 100-hectare phase. Specialist ecological, civil engineering or habitat restoration subcontractors may be relevant partners where their expertise supports delivery.
