Summary of the contracting process

ADLnature is procuring peatland restoration works for the Strathconon Estate project, covering phases 11–15 in the Highlands. The purpose is to restore degraded peatland using standard restoration techniques, including work on substantial areas of peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drains. The requirements also address site access and related project elements. The named delivery location is Coulin Estate in the Highlands. This is environmental restoration and land-management work rather than a supply contract or consultancy assignment. It is likely to suit contractors with practical experience in peatland restoration, earthworks, drainage management and working on remote or environmentally sensitive estates. ADLnature is the buying organisation and is acting as a central purchasing body for the procurement.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for bids was 14 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened. The contract period is 540 days. Bids had to remain valid until 30 April 2027. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. It comprises one lot, with variants not allowed and no renewal or additional-purchase option. The buyer requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Submissions are in English. The procurement is for works, and the tender is identified under CPV 45454100 for restoration work. Electronic payment is available and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This opportunity suits an established environmental contractor able to deliver practical peatland restoration across a substantial, degraded site. Relevant capability includes repairing or reshaping peat haggs and gullies, restoring peat pans, addressing micro-erosion, and managing or reinstating drains using recognised peatland restoration methods. Contractors should be able to plan and carry out site works in the Highlands, deal with site access constraints, and coordinate the associated temporary infrastructure and estate requirements. The bid must identify the staff who will perform the contract and provide their professional qualifications, so a suitably qualified delivery team is important. Businesses with proven experience in peatland or habitat restoration, earthworks, drainage and environmentally sensitive rural projects are the strongest fit, including specialist firms able to assemble an appropriately qualified site team.
