## Summary

Durham County Council is planning a procurement process for the "North Pennines AONB Partnership - Peatland Restoration Framework" under the industry category of construction. The process is currently at the planning stage, with an open procedure method. The project is located within the region of UKC in the United Kingdom. This framework aims to include works such as fencing, spreading heather brash, and installing various types of dams. The planned contract period starts on 1st November 2025 and ends on 31st October 2029. A future notice is expected on 1st August 2025, providing further details on the opportunity.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and environmental restoration. Companies specialising in peatland restoration, including fencing and dam installation, will find this tender particularly relevant. The framework allows participation by various contracting authorities across all UK regions, potentially expanding business networks. Businesses that enter into a Procurement Service Level Agreement with Durham County Council may also benefit, as the framework is available to additional organisations and public bodies through such agreements. The open procedure suggests inclusive participation, making this an excellent opportunity for small to medium enterprises looking to expand their portfolio within public sector projects.
