PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Climate Partners is seeking a contractor for proposed peatland restoration works at Braehour and Backlass Estate in Caithness. The requirement covers four phases of restoration across the estate, with the detailed interventions, site constraints, access arrangements and spatial information set out in the project requirements. This is an environmental restoration service, classified under CPV 90700000. Caledonian Climate Partners is buying on behalf of the participating landowners, and the resulting contract will be with the landowners. The work will take place on the Braehour and Backlass Estate site in Caithness. The procurement includes one lot covering the full Phase 1–4 restoration project, rather than separate opportunities for individual phases.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids had to be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with electronic bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 1 September 2027 to 29 March 2030. The tender covers one lot and does not allow variant bids or contract renewal. Evaluation is based on suitability against the requirements in the Statement of Requirements. Tenderers must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Bids are to be submitted in English and remain valid until 29 March 2030. Contract award depends on funding being secured, and the successful response will support a funding application to Peatland ACTION.

This opportunity suits environmental contractors with practical peatland restoration capability and the capacity to deliver a multi-phase programme on an estate site in Caithness. Businesses should be able to demonstrate that they can interpret and respond fully to a detailed Statement of Requirements, including proposed restoration interventions, spatial data, access arrangements and site constraints. The requirement specifically calls for the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the contract, so bidders need an appropriately qualified delivery team and clear responsibility for site work. It is likely to suit established restoration specialists, ecological contractors and suitably experienced land-management businesses able to plan and carry out work across the whole project period. The work is subject to funding approval.
