The procurement process, classified under environmental protection, was initiated by RSPB Scotland as the buyer based in Edinburgh. The works procurement method adopted was an open procedure, with a total contract value of £17,000 GBP. The procurement stage was marked as complete, and the location of the project is at Abernethy. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, especially those in the environmental protection sector, to engage in infrastructure works related to upgrading access tracks and bridge installation tasks. The tender, led by RSPB Scotland, aims to enhance environmental sustainability and conservation efforts within the Abernethy Reserve. Businesses that specialise in large-scale construction and have experience in habitat restoration projects would be well-suited to compete for this tender and contribute to environmental initiatives in the UKM region. ## Notice Tender for access track upgrade and bridge installation ### Lot Information Lot 1 The RSPB Abernethy Reserve is located in Strathspey, lying to the south and south-east of Nethy Bridge. The Reserve comprises a large extent of remnant Caledonian pine forest and higher open ground extending to the northern areas of the Cairngorm massif. The Reserve includes over 1000ha of blanket bog on the plateau between the hills of An Lurg and Bile Buidhe which is eroding and in need of restoration. Peatland Action has given approval in principle for a grant to carry out repairs and upgrading to the two main routes used to reach these peatland restoration sites. The access tracks are used by the extra low ground pressure excavators when mobilising and demobilising from the site, and on a daily basis by 4x4 vehicles for reserve operations and contractors. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468629 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Jan 2022 | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2021 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £17,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RSPB SCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9DH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh West | | Delivery location | TLM61 Caithness and Sutherland, and Ross and Cromarty | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MCGOWAN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45221100 - Construction work for bridges - 45233000 - Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads ## Release History - 16 Jan 2023 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468629 - 18 Dec 2020 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC402582 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=8 6th April 2021 - Map showing the reduction in length of the Type B repair from 2.6km to 0.3km labelled C1-C2 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=7 6th April 2021 - A revised Invitation to Tender with changes to dates and type B track repair highlighted in yellow. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=6 21st December 2020 - This is a map showing the main routes through the reserve and the bridges, fords and hazards. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=3 18th December 2020 - Map 2 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=4 18th December 2020 - map 3 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=5 18th December 2020 - Bridge specification - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=1 18th December 2020 - Invitation to tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC402582&idx=2 18th December 2020 - Map 1 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC402582 Abernethy - Access drive upgrade and bridge installation - Tender for access track upgrade and bridge installation - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN468629 Abernethy - Access drive upgrade and bridge installation - Tender for access track upgrade and bridge installation ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.rspb.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000639667 - https://mcgowanltd.co.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://www.scotcourts.gov.uk/the-courts/court-locations/edinburgh-sheriff-court-and-justice-of-the-peace-court ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
