Summary of the contracting process

3E Services Ltd is seeking contractors for peatland restoration works at the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Inverbroom Reserve, near Fainmore and Garve in the north-west Highlands, approximately six miles west of Braemore Junction. The project covers degraded blanket bog affected by hagg and gully erosion, eroding bare peat pans, micro-erosion and modified peatland. The work is classified as environmental protection and construction works, including peatland restoration (CPV 45454100). The site lies at approximately 320 to 650 metres above sea level and covers about 816 hectares. The requirement is intended to support a multi-year restoration project and its associated funding application. Contractors may offer to restore the whole site or approximately half of it.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 11 September 2026 at 5.00pm, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 1,080 days, and bids must remain valid until 14 March 2030. There is one lot, structured so suppliers can bid for the whole site or approximately half. Variants are not permitted. The award basis is suitability against the requirements in the Statement of Requirements for the proposed peatland restoration project. Bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Electronic payment is available and electronic invoicing is permitted.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical peatland restoration and upland habitat management capability, particularly experience addressing blanket bog erosion, bare peat, hags, gullies and modified peatland. Suppliers should be able to plan and resource works across a large, remote Highland site and demonstrate that the proposed team has the required professional qualifications. The requirement may suit both a principal contractor able to manage restoration across the full reserve area and a smaller specialist contractor able to deliver approximately half the site. Competent site planning, workforce scheduling and mobilisation for terrain ranging from 320 to 650 metres above sea level will be important. Familiarity with site maps, spatial data and restoration delivery would support a credible offer.
