Summary of the contracting process

Strutt & Parker, acting for Altnaharra Estate Ltd, is buying peatland restoration services for the proposed Altnaharra Phase 2 project. The work is to be delivered at Altnaharra in the Scottish Highlands and concerns restoration works on peatland at the estate. The requirement is classified under CPV 90700000, environmental services. The procurement is managed by Strutt & Parker on behalf of the estate, with NatureScot identified as the review body. The scope, project requirements and site information are set out in the Statement of Requirements, supported by restoration, spatial and location mapping. Site visits may be arranged directly with Strutt & Parker, and questions are to be submitted through the procurement portal.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 17:00, with electronic bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract is planned to run from 15 September 2027 to 31 March 2028. The tender is for one lot and does not allow variants or renewals. Evaluation and participation requirements are based on the suitability information in the Statement of Requirements. Bidders must provide the names and qualifications of the staff assigned to the work. Bids must be in English and remain valid until 31 March 2028. The project is subject to grant funding, with the successful response intended to support an application to Peatland ACTION by 30 September 2026.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical experience delivering peatland restoration works and the capacity to undertake an estate-scale project during the specified delivery period. Suppliers should be able to interpret and work from a detailed Statement of Requirements, restoration map, spatial data and location map, and should be prepared to arrange a site visit where useful. The procurement specifically requires bidders to identify the staff who will carry out the work and provide their professional qualifications, so an established, appropriately qualified project team will be important. It may suit environmental contractors, land-management businesses and specialist restoration teams able to coordinate site operations, use project mapping and provide a suitably qualified workforce for a funded restoration programme.
