Summary of the contracting process

ADLnature is seeking a contractor for Phase 1 of a peatland restoration project at Arineckaig Estate in the Highlands; the recorded delivery location is Coulin Estate, Highlands. The works category is environmental and land restoration, with CPV code 45454100 for refurbishment works. The purpose is to restore degraded peatland using standard restoration techniques described in the Peatland ACTION Technical Compendium. The site includes a significant area of peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drains. The requirement covers the associated restoration works set out in the statement of requirements. ADLnature is the buying organisation and acts as a central purchasing body. The project is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

The process has reached tender: ADLnature invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids had to be submitted by 18 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, when bid opening was also scheduled and the award period was due to start. The contract period is 540 days. Bids must remain valid until 30 April 2027. The opportunity is divided into one lot. Variants are not allowed, and electronic payment will be available; electronic invoicing is allowed. Bidders must submit in English and provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The procurement is for works, but no financial value or detailed scoring criteria is stated in the tender information.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical experience in peatland restoration and the ability to deliver standard restoration techniques across degraded upland ground. Relevant capability includes working safely and effectively around peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, areas of micro-erosion and drainage features, and following a detailed statement of requirements. Suppliers should be able to assemble and name suitably qualified project staff, because staff names and professional qualifications must be provided with the bid. The 540-day requirement favours businesses with sufficient workforce, equipment, site management and logistical capacity for a substantial restoration project. Contractors familiar with the Peatland ACTION Technical Compendium and comparable environmental land-management works should be well placed to assess the technical requirements and prepare a compliant English-language electronic bid.
