PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Natural Heritage, trading as NatureScot, is seeking a contractor for proposed peatland restoration at Hollandmey Moss in the Highlands. The requirement is classified as environmental protection services and concerns restoration works at a named peatland site. NatureScot is managing the procurement, but the resulting contract will be with the landowners or grant applicant rather than with NatureScot itself. The opportunity is part of the Peatland ACTION programme. Delivery is at Hollandmey Moss, in the Highland area of Scotland. Businesses should therefore be able to undertake peatland restoration services at a specific rural site and be prepared to work under arrangements involving landowners or a grant applicant. The statement of requirements and site map provide the detailed scope and site information.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The bid deadline set by the buyer was 21 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, followed by a digital bid opening at 12:30 UTC. The evaluation period was scheduled to start at 12:30 UTC on 21 September 2026. The contract period runs from 21 July 2027 to 30 September 2027. There is one lot, with no variants or renewal option. Bids must be submitted in English and remain valid for 210 days. Tenderers must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Electronic payment and ordering are предусмотрed, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The contract depends on funding being achieved; the stated notification date is for a preferred contractor, not contract award.

This opportunity suits contractors specialising in peatland restoration and environmental protection services, particularly those able to plan and deliver restoration at Hollandmey Moss during the specified delivery window. Relevant suppliers should have staff whose names and professional qualifications can be provided with the bid, as this is an explicit participation requirement. The work is site-specific and involves coordination with landowners or a grant applicant, so businesses should be comfortable delivering public-funded environmental work under a contract held by those parties rather than by NatureScot. The requirement is focused on a single restoration site, making it more suited to a specialist contractor or capable environmental services firm than to a general supplier. The detailed statement of requirements and map should be reviewed to confirm technical fit, access arrangements and delivery capability.
