Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Woodland Limited is seeking a contractor for the proposed Nest of Fannich peatland restoration project. The work is a peatland restoration service, supported by environmental improvement works, with the detailed scope set out in the specification and associated site information. Delivery is at Achnascheen. The procurement covers one lot and is intended to restore peatland in the identified site area, including activities described in the specification, site maps, severity index material, bare peat re-seeding information and tender quantities. The buyer is based in Edinburgh. This opportunity suits businesses providing practical peatland, habitat or environmental restoration services, particularly those able to work on a defined rural site and follow detailed restoration requirements.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender submission deadline was 16 September 2026 at 17:00 UTC. Bids were scheduled to be opened on 17 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with the award period beginning at that time. The single contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 30 March 2029. Its estimated value is £500,000 GBP. Bids must remain valid until 29 March 2030. A document access fee applies, and variant bids are not allowed. Evaluation is based on supplier suitability, with the specification providing the detailed requirements. The buyer allows electronic invoicing, and bids must be submitted in English.

This opportunity is commercially relevant to contractors with direct experience of peatland restoration and environmental improvement works. Suitable suppliers should be able to interpret and deliver against a detailed specification, use site access information, maps, severity assessments and quantity schedules, and carry out restoration activities such as bare peat re-seeding where required. The buyer requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff assigned to the work, so firms need an appropriately qualified delivery team and the capacity to support a multi-year site programme. Businesses with practical habitat restoration, upland land management, ecological works or related environmental contracting experience are likely to be well placed. The requirement is suited to an established specialist contractor or a capable environmental works partnership.
