Summary of the contracting process

ADLnature is procuring peatland restoration works at Inverlael Estate, phases 7–9, in the Highlands. The project aims to restore degraded peatland using standard restoration techniques described in the Peatland ACTION Technical Compendium. The works cover substantial areas affected by peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drains, with associated access, watercourse crossings and site considerations identified in the project information. The procurement is classified as construction work (CPV 45454100), with related environmental protection, peat extraction, restoration and earthmoving classifications. Delivery is described as Coulin Estate, Highlands, while the opportunity title refers to Inverlael Estate. ADLnature is the buying organisation and NatureScot is identified as the review body. Electronic payment will be available and electronic invoicing is allowed.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline set by the buyer was 18 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC; bid opening was scheduled for the same time, and the award period began then. The contract duration is 540 days. Bids must remain valid until 30 April 2027. There is one lot, covering the peatland restoration works, and variants are not allowed. The tender requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Submissions must be in English. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the contract is not described as recurrent or renewable.

This opportunity suits contractors experienced in practical peatland restoration and environmental land management, particularly those able to work safely and effectively across degraded peatland containing haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drainage features. Relevant capability includes applying established peatland restoration techniques, carrying out earthworks and associated environmental works, managing access and watercourse crossings, and working in a Highland estate setting. Bidders should have suitably qualified staff and be prepared to name those staff and provide their professional qualifications. The project information includes requirements covering site location, elevation, designated sites, peat depth, restoration phases, access and tender costs, so businesses with strong surveying, site planning, mobilisation and cost-control capability are well placed to assess and deliver the works.
