The buying organisation responsible for this project is the Defra Network eTendering Portal. The tender was awarded on 23rd November 2017, with an allocated budget of £653,021.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the environmental rehabilitation and landscape management sectors to expand their services. Companies with expertise in hydrology restoration and re-vegetation of peat bogs would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar contracts.
