The work concerns peatland restoration at Divis, with delivery in Northern Ireland. This is an environmental construction opportunity for contractors involved in restoring and improving peatland sites, rather than a general construction requirement. The buyer is the National Trust, whose address is in Swindon, although the works themselves are to be delivered in Northern Ireland. The opportunity is classified under CPV 45000000, covering construction work. It is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist contractors may be well placed to consider the requirement. The procurement has reached tender: the National Trust invited offers through an open procedure described as below threshold. The tender closing deadline set by the buyer is 31 August 2026 at 12:00. Queries must be submitted by 21 August 2026, and the contract is due to be awarded on 5 October 2026. The contract period is from 5 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. The estimated contract value is £135,000. The requirement is presented as a single construction works opportunity, with no separate lots identified. Offers and communications are to be handled through the Proactis Plaza portal. The stated procurement stage is tender, meaning suppliers were invited to submit offers; the published tender status is recorded as active in the underlying procurement data. This opportunity suits small and medium-sized construction businesses with practical capability in peatland restoration and environmental works. Contractors with experience delivering restoration projects on natural or protected land may be particularly relevant, provided they can undertake the required construction activity at Divis. The work is likely to suit firms able to plan and manage site-based environmental construction, coordinate labour and equipment, and deliver restoration activities within the specified contract period. Specialist subcontractors or delivery partners with peatland, habitat-restoration or related countryside-management experience may also find a role through a suitable lead contractor. The requirement is environmental in purpose and construction-based in classification, making it most relevant to contractors combining civil works capability with practical understanding of peatland restoration. ## Notice Phase 2 of Divis Peatland Restoration Project which sits within the Divis A View to the Future project.
