Summary of the contracting process

ADLnature is procuring peatland restoration works at Coulin Estate in the Highlands, covering phases 4 to 6. The project aims to restore degraded peatland using standard restoration techniques described in the Peatland ACTION Technical Compendium. The work includes treatment of a significant area affected by peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drains. The requirement is classified as environmental protection and restoration work, including peatland restoration, land reclamation and earthworks. Suppliers will be delivering the work on the Coulin Estate site rather than providing a general consultancy or routine maintenance service. NatureScot is identified as the review body for the procurement, while ADLnature is the buying organisation managing it.

The procurement has reached tender: ADLnature invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The bid deadline is 14 September 2026 at 09:00, and bids are scheduled to be opened at the same time. The contract period is 390 days. Bids must remain valid until 30 April 2027. Submissions must be in English, and alternative bids are not allowed. The requirement is a single lot. The contract provides for electronic payment, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The contract notice identifies technical and economic selection criteria, and requires bidders to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work.

This opportunity suits contractors specialising in peatland restoration, habitat restoration, environmental land management and associated earthworks. Relevant capability includes applying established peatland restoration methods to degraded ground containing peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drainage channels. Suppliers should be able to plan and carry out practical restoration works across a significant site, manage site access and delivery, and provide staff with the professional qualifications needed for the proposed team. Experience of working on environmentally sensitive land and delivering earthworks or drainage-related restoration would be well aligned with the requirement. The contract is suited to an experienced restoration contractor or a specialist environmental works business with sufficient operational capacity for a substantial site project.
