## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by RSPB Scotland, involves hydrological works at the Forsinard Flows Reserve. The project, titled "Hydrological works, East - Forsinard Flows Reserve," falls under the environmental protection industry category and is located in Edinburgh, UK. Currently in the award stage, this open procedure tender has seen the awarding of a contract valued at £110,543 to John Mackay Ltd. The contract was signed on 1 July 2021, following the tender period which concluded on 19 May 2021.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in environmental services, particularly those specialising in hydrological engineering or land management. Companies equipped to handle projects involving crosstracking and reprofiling works, especially in peatland restoration, would find this to be a strategic opportunity. As the project is aimed at enhancing environmental standards within protected areas, firms committed to sustainable practices and equipped with relevant expertise are well-positioned to benefit from future contracts of a similar nature.

Tender For The Supply Of Hydrological, Crosstracking And Reprofiling Works At Forsinard Flows Reserve

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Unblocked collector drains will be dammed using the excavator bucket to create full size dams (Where peat depth is more than 150cm) or pull in dams (Where peat depth is 150cm or below) that completely block the drains, at 25cm level drops between each with the aim of raising the water table above the dam back to within 10cm of the original ground surface level. Dams should be built at intervals between 6m and 20m. For full height dams brash material should be cleared away from the dam site, and a key cut out on the sides and base to ensure a good water tight seal. Suitable un-oxidised peaty material to construct the dam should be obtained from the near vicinity, without compromising the viability of other dams nearby, and where peat can be borrowed without too much disruption of the crushed brash (which should again be left lying below the original surface).
