This sites is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This designation is due to the raised bog habitat and associated species communities on the site. The wider area comprises a mix of raised bog, blanket peat bog and intermediate peatland that provide a highly important habitat in the region, supporting a number of rare plant and animal species. Fundamental to enhancement of the site is restoration of the natural hydrology, which has been disturbed by man-made drainage channels. The work proposed in this contract aims to re-wet the site by damming these drains, retaining water on the site and raising the water table resulting in long term improvement to the raised bog habitat. We will be awarding a contract for installation of peat dams on drainage ditches, creation of water-retaining bunds, dam repair and edge reprofiling at Darnrig Moss SSSI, Falkirk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL454878 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | 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 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Oct 2022 - 31 Mar 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £120,000 | | Lots value | £115,000 | | 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 | BUGLIFE - THE INVERTEBRATE CONSERVATION TRUST | | Locality | STIRLING | | Post town | Falkirk and Stirling | | Postcode | FK9 4NF | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM02 Perth and Kinross, and Stirling | | Local authority | Stirling | | Electoral ward | Stirling North | | Westminster constituency | Stirling and Strathallan | | Delivery location | TLM76 Falkirk | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 09112200 - Peat - 45112360 - Land rehabilitation work - 45112500 - Earthmoving work ## Release History - 27 Jul 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL454878 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454878&idx=1 27th July 2022 - Darnrig Moss Peat Depths - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454878&idx=2 27th July 2022 - Darnrig figure 5 management plan - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454878&idx=3 27th July 2022 - OP - Peatland Re-wetting Design& Specification Sheet 06 - Peat Edge Re-profiling - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454878&idx=4 27th July 2022 - OP - Peatland Re-wetting Design& Specification Sheet 05 - Deep Trench Bunds - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454878&idx=5 27th July 2022 - OP-Peatland Re-wetting Design& Specification Sheet 01 - Peat Dams - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUL454878&idx=6 27th July 2022 - ITT Darnrig Final - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL454878 PEATLAND RESTORATION & RE-WETTING WORKS (DRAIN BLOCKING & EDGE REPROFILING) AT DARNRIG MOSS SSSI - Peatland restoration at Darnrig moss SSSI, Involving bunding, edge reprofiling, peat dams and repairing existing plastic dams ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.buglife.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000701554 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=701554 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
