Peatland restoration will also deliver wider environmental and social benefits.

The NCPGS includes the Restoration Grant and the Discovery Grant. This project is for Round 2 of the Restoration Grant which will fund peatland restoration and its associated eligible costs. The Restoration Grant is a multi-year grant and funds are intended for projects where there is a complete programme of restoration works identified for at least the first year of the agreement. The Restoration Grant provides up to 75% of total project costs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f47682cf-c481-466e-a843-f1b5a6ef52de | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Aug 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £15,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEFRA NETWORK ETENDERING PORTAL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3JR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 09112200 - Peat - 45454100 - Restoration work ## Release History - 21 Mar 2022 at 11:55 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f47682cf-c481-466e-a843-f1b5a6ef52de - 24 Feb 2022 at 13:52 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f47682cf-c481-466e-a843-f1b5a6ef52de - 9 Feb 2022 at 14:24 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f47682cf-c481-466e-a843-f1b5a6ef52de - 2 Feb 2022 at 16:40 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f47682cf-c481-466e-a843-f1b5a6ef52de - 19 Jan 2022 at 16:03 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f47682cf-c481-466e-a843-f1b5a6ef52de ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f47682cf-c481-466e-a843-f1b5a6ef52de 21st March 2022 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a0b9c30d-5d92-4d69-bcea-11530835971a n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b8aaec09-6143-4d4c-9cb4-3965bb90528b n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b80fba41-9ec4-4b24-ad12-e009c16bee9e n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/14cdc697-b63f-42d3-bc0f-7c0d49c0cbd9 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/70e51b91-1e73-41f6-a8af-df33cb4ad119 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/783c2e85-976f-4151-ac10-1cac1f36f02e n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/72a2b22f-4811-4c43-b645-253ff449fcd0 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/83470136-40c2-4387-bcd1-e3b258baee99 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/909f37af-5770-4fef-9aaf-3a037fe268e7 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7afb8ecc-3c8c-4661-87f7-a4e640b43201 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f555227b-17b8-4c8a-85ee-5b1f5b2f83c7 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7e9b66c7-3a84-47a9-b23f-4c083b8b881d n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
