Summary of the contracting process

Crichton Carbon Centre is seeking a services contractor for Proposed Peatland Restoration – Tarras Valley (Phase 2) – South Scotland. The requirement is to restore peatland at Tarras Valley, with the description referring to restoration of 316.66. The work is being procured on behalf of the applicant for NatureScot’s Peatland ACTION funding, with external partners undertaking the procurement for the landowner. Delivery is in South Scotland. The main classification is environmental protection services (CPV 90700000). This opportunity is relevant to organisations carrying out peatland restoration, habitat restoration, land management or related environmental services, particularly those able to work on a defined restoration project for a landowner under a public environmental funding programme.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with the submission deadline set for 28 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned evaluation and award period starts on 1 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened. The contract period is 1 September 2027 to 21 February 2028. The procurement has one lot and does not allow variants, options or renewals. A fee applies for access to the procurement documents. The notice is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender documents include a Statement of Requirements and material from a contractor site visit, including points discussed during that visit.

This opportunity suits environmental contractors with practical peatland restoration capability and experience delivering habitat or land restoration works. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist peatland contractors, ecological restoration firms, conservation land managers and organisations with experience working for landowners through publicly funded environmental programmes. The requirement should interest suppliers able to plan and deliver restoration activities on site, interpret a Statement of Requirements, attend to site-specific issues identified during contractor discussions and manage delivery through to completion within the specified contract period. It may also suit larger environmental businesses that can provide the project management, site supervision, equipment and workforce needed for a substantial peatland restoration scheme in South Scotland.
