At Cwmparc, above Treorchy, the work covers restoration of plateau peatland and installation of grazing infrastructure in the adjoining valley to support long-term habitat management. At Cefn Morfudd, above Neath, it involves restoring degraded peatland through hydrological interventions and associated infrastructure works. The procurement is divided into three work packages: peatland restoration at Cwmparc, peatland restoration at Cefn Morfudd, and grazing infrastructure at Cwmparc. Bidders must submit one bid covering all three packages. The overall scope is land and habitat restoration, drainage and related civil engineering works, rather than a supply-only contract. The council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 and the bid deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 23 November 2026 to 28 February 2028, with work planned across two winter periods: November 2026 to February 2027 and October 2027 to February 2028. The estimated value is £174,078 excluding VAT (£208,893.60 including VAT). Evaluation is weighted 30% on commercial terms and 70% on quality: understanding of the project, sites and constraints; delivery approach; relevant experience and technical expertise; and quality assurance, risk management and long-term sustainability. The three packages require a single submission. This opportunity is suited to contractors able to deliver both peatland restoration and associated infrastructure works across multiple upland sites, and the council identifies it as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Strong bids will need to demonstrate relevant experience and technical expertise in delivering this kind of work, a practical delivery approach, and a clear understanding of the site-specific conditions. Cefn Morfudd includes Scheduled Ancient Monuments and areas requiring specialist unexploded-ordnance supervision, so suppliers must be able to plan work around those constraints and provide for the required specialist supervision. Cwmparc combines plateau restoration with grazing infrastructure in the adjacent valley. The quality assessment also places emphasis on quality assurance, risk management and long-term sustainability, making those capabilities directly relevant to competing for the combined package. ## Notice Neath Port Talbot Council seeks to appoint a suitably experienced contractor to deliver a programme of works across two project sites: Site A: Cwmparc Located within the uplands above Treorchy, the Cwmparc site comprises both a plateau peatland restoration area and the adjacent cwm valley. Works at this site include peatland restoration interventions together with the installation of grazing infrastructure designed to support long-term habitat management. Site B: Cefn Morfudd Located on the upland plateau above Neath, Cefn Morfudd contains areas of degraded peatland requiring restoration through hydrological interventions, together with associated infrastructure works. Parts of the site are subject to additional operational constraints including Scheduled Ancient Monuments and areas requiring specialist UXO supervision. The contract has been divided into three principal work packages: * Work Package A: Cwmparc Peatland Restoration * Work Package B: Cefn Morfudd Peatland Restoration * Work Package C: Cwmparc Grazing Infrastructure Bidders must provide a single submission covering all work packages. The contract will run over two winter working periods: * November 2026 to 28 February 2027 * 1 October 2027 to 28 February 2028 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/093081-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 30 Oct 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Nov 2026 - 28 Feb 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £174,078 | | Lots value | £174,078 | | 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 | Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council | | Locality | PORT TALBOT | | Postcode area | Swansea | | Postcode | SA13 1PJ | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL4 Mid and South West Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL44 Neath Port Talbot | | Local authority | Neath Port Talbot | | Electoral ward | Aberavon | | Westminster constituency | Aberafan Maesteg | | Delivery location | TLL17 Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45111240 - Ground-drainage work - 45111291 - Site-development work - 45112000 - Excavating and earthmoving work - 45112360 - Land rehabilitation work - 45112700 - Landscaping work - 45112710 - Landscaping work for green areas - 45113000 - Siteworks - 45232452 - Drainage works - 45247210 - Dam construction work - 45247230 - Dyke construction work ## Release History - 2 Oct 2026 at 08:16 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/093081-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/093081-2026 2nd October 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.npt.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
