We are looking to restore the next section named 1B this coming autumn using different techniques for the scenarios listed below. - Drain Blocking to be delivered through a combination of solely damming OR damming with reprofiling between the dams depending on the drain in question (see map below). Predicted requirements are as follows: - 6044m of drain blocking without reprofiling between the dams - 2652m of drain blocking with reprofiling between the dams This is likely to equate to - 1207 peat dams (when dams are spaced between 7m-10m along ditch length) - 15 plastic pile dams (these will be for areas of higher flow and exact locations selected as the works progress) - 10 timber dams (this is a trial on one drain, with dams spaced every 10m. We envisage timber dams to be three planks high with lowest plank keyed into the mineral and stobs driven into the mineral to hold the dam in place) Hag and Gully Reprofiling - 4448m of purely hag / gully / peat bank reprofiling - Some of the hag and gully systems will require damming and this is likely to equate to a further: - 261 peat dams - 10 timber dams (on a single gully system which will be undertaken as a trial) Period of delivery - September 2022 to March 2023. Please note: this period is not absolute and will depend on the outcome of the funding application. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG456006 | | 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 | 10 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | 11 Aug 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Sep 2022 - 1 Mar 2023 | | 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 | RSPB SCOTLAND | | Locality | LOCHWINNOCH | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA12 4JF | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Renfrewshire | | Electoral ward | Johnstone North, Kilbarchan, Howwood and Lochwinnoch | | Westminster constituency | Paisley and Renfrewshire South | | Delivery location | TLM66 Shetland Islands | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45112000 - Excavating and earthmoving work ## Release History - 10 Aug 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG456006 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG456006&idx=1 10th August 2022 - To be completed- details of contractor requirements - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG456006 peatland restoration; Lumbister, Yell, Shetland_July 2022 - Digger works in the form of peat dam creation and re-profiling at Lumbister, Yell, Shetland. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.rspb.org.uk/lochwinnoch - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000703042 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=703042 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/authority/authority_noticestatus.aspx?ID=701385 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
