## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Limited, titled "Gun Moor Grip Blocking," is currently at the tender stage. This project targets the restoration of Gun Moor, an 81-hectare upland area in the Peak District National Park, focusing on re-wetting peatland through drainage channel blocking. Classified under the agricultural and related products category, it specifically includes peat and drainage works. The procurement, conducted via an open procedure, anticipates a contract value of £100,000. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 17 August 2026, with the contract expected to commence on 4 September 2026 and conclude by 31 March 2027. The project site is located at postal code ST13 8PR, England.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses experienced in agricultural, environmental, and construction services, specifically those specialising in peatland restoration and drainage works. The project encourages participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing a platform for growth and visibility within the environmental restoration sector. Equipped with the expertise to handle ecological and infrastructural projects, businesses can leverage this opportunity to expand their portfolio and establish a foothold in sustainable projects within national parks and protected areas.

## Notice

Thanks to a Wildlife Rich Habitat grant from DEFRA we plan to begin the restoration of Gun Moor, delivering an important step forward for nature recovery in the Peak District. Gun Moor is a 81ha upland mix of habitats on the western edge of the Peak District National Park. This project focusses on a series of grip and surface drainage channel blocking on areas of deep peat with the aim of re-wetting the peatland. A mixture of 448 peat and stone interventions will be installed to rewet the moorland
