Summary of the contracting process

Tweed Forum is seeking a contractor to deliver river restoration works for the Biggar Burn Restoration Project. The work is classified as construction activity and will take place in Biggar, South Lanarkshire. The requirement concerns practical restoration activities rather than the supply of goods alone, with the project supported by design drawings, a scope document, an activity schedule and key quantities. The project information also covers ecology surveys and mapping, health and safety arrangements, risk management, utilities information and related infrastructure drawings. This opportunity is therefore relevant to contractors able to undertake environmental construction and river or watercourse restoration works in and around Biggar, including businesses that can work with ecological, utilities and site-safety constraints.

The process has reached tender: Tweed Forum invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot, assessed in a single-stage exercise on cost and quality. The estimated value is £100,000 including the lot value. Bids were due by 12:00 on 14 September 2026, with bid opening scheduled for 13:00 the same day at Old Melrose. The contract period is 1 October to 13 November 2026, and bids must remain valid until 18 December 2026. The procurement is for works, and variants are not allowed. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The buyer requires bidders to provide staff names and qualifications.

This opportunity suits an established environmental works or civil engineering contractor with practical experience of river restoration and the delivery of construction projects in constrained outdoor settings. Relevant capability includes interpreting design drawings and activity schedules, working to a defined scope and quantities, and managing ecology requirements identified through pre-works surveys. Suppliers should be able to plan and control health and safety, maintain a risk register and coordinate work around gas and electricity utility infrastructure. The supporting information also refers to HES drawings and SEPA arrangements, so experience working with heritage and environmental stakeholders would be useful. The requirement is suited to a team able to provide named, suitably qualified staff and deliver a focused restoration project.
