Summary of the contracting process

ADLnature is procuring peatland restoration works for the Uig and Hamanavay Estate on the Isle of Lewis. The purpose is to restore degraded peatland using standard restoration techniques described in the Peatland ACTION Technical compendium. The work covers a significant area affected by peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drains, with the statement of requirements providing further detail on the associated activities. This is environmental protection and land-restoration work, including peatland and habitat management, earthworks and related site works. ADLnature is the buyer and central purchasing body. Suppliers will need to deliver the works at the named estate on the Isle of Lewis.

The buyer invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted electronically in English, with the tender deadline set for 18 September 2026 at 9:00am. Bid opening was scheduled for the same time, with evaluation starting then. The requirement is a single lot with a contract duration of 540 days. Bids must remain valid until 30 April 2027. Variants are not allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Electronic payment will be available and electronic invoicing will be allowed. Suppliers must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The tender includes site, access, peat-depth and designated-site maps, cost information and a statement of requirements.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical peatland restoration and environmental land-management capability, particularly those experienced in repairing degraded peatland affected by haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drainage channels. Relevant suppliers are likely to have teams able to apply established peatland restoration techniques in accordance with the Peatland ACTION Technical compendium, interpret site and peat-depth information, and plan work around access and designated-site constraints. The requirement is appropriate for businesses with sufficient operational capacity to deliver a substantial programme of site works over an extended period on the Isle of Lewis. Bidders must identify the staff who will perform the work and provide their professional qualifications, so demonstrable technical competence and an appropriately qualified delivery team are important.
