Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Climate Partners is procuring peatland restoration services for Blackburn & Hartsgarth Estates in the Scottish Borders. The requirement is Phase 4 of a proposed restoration project, covering restoration works across the estates. The procurement is classified as environmental protection services (CPV 90700000). The contract will be with the landowners, with Caledonian Climate Partners managing the procurement on their behalf. The opportunity is aimed at contractors able to deliver practical peatland restoration works in a rural estate setting. Supporting project information includes a statement of requirements, overall location plan, constraints map, access map, intervention plan and spatial data covering access, constraints and the project area.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It comprises one lot. Offers were due by 28 September 2026 at 17:00, with bid opening at the same time. The evaluation uses suitability requirements set out in the Statement of Requirements, and bidders must provide staff names and qualifications. Variants are not allowed. The proposed contract period is 1 September 2027 to 29 February 2028, and bids must remain valid until 29 February 2028. The successful tender is intended to support a funding application to Peatland ACTION, due by 30 September 2026, with an expected funding decision by 1 February 2027. Contract award depends on funding being secured.

This opportunity suits specialist peatland restoration contractors with the practical workforce, environmental knowledge and site-management capability to carry out restoration works across estate land. Bidders need to identify the staff who will deliver the contract and provide their professional qualifications, so suppliers should have an appropriately qualified and clearly structured project team. The supporting material indicates a requirement to understand access arrangements, site constraints, intervention planning and spatial project information. Contractors able to interpret maps and spatial data and plan work around rural access and environmental constraints are well placed to compete. The work may also suit environmental land-management businesses, habitat restoration specialists and civil engineering contractors with relevant peatland experience and qualified staff.
