PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Natural Heritage, trading as NatureScot, is seeking environmental protection services for proposed peatland restoration at Rosal F2B in Sutherland, in the Highlands. The work concerns the restoration of a specified peatland site for the Peatland ACTION programme, with the detailed scope set out in the Statement of Requirements and accompanying site maps. NatureScot is managing the procurement, but the resulting contract will be with the landowners or grant applicant rather than with NatureScot. The opportunity is a service contract delivered at the Rosal F2B site. The relevant classification is environmental protection services (CPV 90700000). There is one lot covering the proposed restoration tender process.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 23 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, followed by electronic bid opening at 12:30 UTC. The stated preferred-contractor notification period begins on 23 September 2026 at 12:30 UTC; this is not the contract award date. The contract period is 1 September 2027 to 15 March 2028. Bids must remain valid for 210 days and be submitted in English. The procurement does not allow variants, renewals or options. The contract uses electronic payment and ordering, with electronic invoicing allowed. Funding must be achieved before a contract can proceed.

This opportunity suits environmental contractors with practical peatland restoration capability and experience delivering restoration works at a defined rural site. Suppliers should be able to understand and work to a detailed Statement of Requirements and site maps, plan delivery across the required restoration period, and provide the staff information requested for the tender. The requirement specifically asks tenderers to provide staff names and qualifications, so bidders need an appropriately qualified delivery team and the ability to evidence its competence. Firms familiar with environmental protection services and peatland or habitat restoration will be best placed to assess the site-specific scope. The work is a single-site opportunity rather than a multi-lot programme, which may suit a focused specialist contractor.
