This procurement, within the services category, focuses on assessing and improving the long-term wildfire resilience of habitats at the Beinn Eighe and Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserves. Located in the UK, this open procedure is at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 26th August 2026. Potential suppliers should note electronic submissions are preferred, and quality criteria hold a 60% weighting in the evaluation process. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in environmental engineering consultancy services, risk or hazard assessment, and fire-prevention or control consultancy. Businesses with expertise in environmental impact assessments, particularly those focusing on natural risks or hazards, are well-placed to compete for this contract. With an emphasis on evidence-based strategic interventions, the project offers the chance to showcase skills in developing risk-based approaches to environmental management, potentially leading to further engagements in similar projects within the sector. ## Notice NatureScot is looking to improve wildfire resilience on Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve (NNR) in the long-term. This work will include an evidence-based assessment the current wildfire resilience of different habitats on Beinn Eighe NNR, and prioritisation of potential strategic interventions to improve the future wildfire resilience. Proposed interventions will be strategic and prioritised across the NNR (i.e. a risk-based approach), to break up or contain areas of high risk or high consequence of wildfire. NatureScot is also looking to undertake elements of this work on another site to make a comparison of similar habitats in a different geological and climatic area. This will help us interpret the data at a more regional and national level. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NatureScot is looking for an assessment of the main habitats on Beinn Eighe NNR and Muir of Dinnet NNR to the risk of wildfire and potential impacts to guide future management to improve the long-term resilience to wildfire. These two sites have been chosen as holding similar broad habitat types but being in different parts of the country with different environmental conditions. This research will provide us with evidence-based data which can help to inform where strategic interventions will be most effective at reducing the long-term risk and/or impact of wildfire on the NNRs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/070577-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 26 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SCOTTISH NATURAL HERITAGE | | Locality | INVERNESS | | Post town | Inverness | | Postcode | IV3 8NW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Inverness West | | Westminster constituency | Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services - 71313410 - Risk or hazard assessment for construction - 71317100 - Fire and explosion protection and control consultancy services - 75251110 - Fire-prevention services - 90700000 - Environmental services - 90711100 - Risk or hazard assessment other than for construction - 90711400 - Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) services other than for construction - 90721800 - Natural risks or hazards protection services ## Release History - 27 Jul 2026 at 08:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/070577-2026 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nature.scot - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000838310 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=838310 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=838310 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA00383 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
