Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and the Isles Coast and Countryside Trust (ACT) is seeking environmental restoration services for the proposed recovery of 235 hectares of degraded blanket bog at Ardlussa Estate on the Isle of Jura, Argyll, Scotland. The work is intended to bring the peatland back onto the road to recovery and is advertised on behalf of Andrew Fletcher’s Ardlussa Trust. The contract will be with the landowners. This is a single peatland restoration requirement, classified under CPV 90700000 for environmental services. Delivery is at Ardlussa Estate, Isle of Jura, PA60 7XW. The opportunity is relevant to contractors and environmental organisations delivering practical peatland, bog or wider habitat restoration projects in remote locations.

The process has reached tender: ACT invited offers through an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted electronically in English, with the closing deadline set for 9 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The tender included one lot, with contract delivery planned from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. Bids were required to remain valid until 31 March 2028, and electronic bid opening was scheduled for 9 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. A tenderers’ site visit was scheduled for 23 September 2026. Variants were not allowed. The contract depends on the project securing Peatland ACTION funding; the successful tender response will be incorporated into the funding application. Electronic payment is provided for and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits suppliers with practical capability in peatland restoration, blanket bog recovery and environmental land management, particularly those able to organise and deliver work across a substantial rural estate. It is suitable for businesses experienced in planning restoration activity, working with landowners and producing a tender response that can support a funding application. Bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff who will perform the contract, so an appropriately qualified delivery team is important. Suppliers should be able to engage with a site visit at Ardlussa Estate and work in a remote island setting. The requirement is also suited to organisations comfortable preparing English-language bids and submitting them electronically.
