Summary of the contracting process

ADLnature is procuring peatland restoration works at East Rhidorroch Estate in the Highlands. The project will restore degraded peatland using standard restoration techniques, covering a significant area affected by peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drains. The statement of requirements sets out the associated work in greater detail. This is an environmental restoration and land management contract, with the main classification relating to restoration and repair works. ADLnature is the buyer and central purchasing body. NatureScot is involved as the review body. The work is site-based at East Rhidorroch Estate in the Highlands and will suit contractors able to undertake practical peatland restoration in challenging rural terrain.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot. Bids were due by 18 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 540 days. Bids must remain valid until 30 April 2027. The tender does not allow variants, and bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Responses must be submitted in English. Electronic payment will be used and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published evaluation information includes economic and technical selection criteria.

This opportunity suits environmental contractors, peatland restoration specialists and civil engineering or land management businesses with experience delivering restoration works on degraded peatlands. Relevant capability includes repairing or treating peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drainage features using established peatland restoration methods. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver substantial site-based works in the Highlands, manage access and operations in rural terrain, and sustain delivery across a contract lasting roughly a year and a half. Bidders will need to identify the staff proposed for the work and provide their professional qualifications, so businesses with an experienced, clearly structured delivery team will be well placed. The requirement is suited to contractors able to work to detailed technical requirements and coordinate practical environmental improvement works.
