The tender is at the active stage and is open for submission until September 22, 2022. The tender is located in Edinburgh, UK, and falls under the services category. The procurement method is an open procedure, with electronic submission required. This tender by the National Trust for Scotland offers opportunities for businesses specializing in fencing installation services to compete for a project that involves challenging terrain and environmental designations. Suitable businesses may need experience in working with inaccessible sites and adhering to conservation requirements. The tender presents a chance for growth in the construction and environmental services sectors, requiring innovative approaches to meet project specifications within the set deadlines. ## Notice The Trust is seeking tenders for the installation of a new build section (approx 2.3km) of red deer proof electric fence with out lying electric wire and several sections of upgrade fencing to existing dykes and stock fences, totalling approx 2.25km, as part of a project funded through NatureScots 'Nature Restoration fund'. As the site is fairly inaccessible and heavily designated (inc NNR, SSSI and SAC), an air lift will be required for most materials and minimal use of vehicles will be necessary ### Lot Information Lot 1 Ben Lawers NNR is a large estate comprising the south sides of the Lawers and Tarmachan mountain ranges. The land is predominantly high ground with the head dyke forming the lower, southern boundary although the in-bye ground of two of the adjoining farms are also included in the estate boundary. Grazing rights on the Ben Lawers side of the property are held by some of the adjacent farms and sheep grazing is the predominant form of land use here. On the Tarmachan (Morenish) no grazing constraints exist and the Trust have been undergoing several staged projects to expand mountain woodland within enclosure fencing for over 20 years. The fence currently encloses approx. 800ha of hill ground for this purpose. The fencing relating to this ITT will absorb approx. 350ha of additional ground into this enclosure. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG457778 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 31 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | 22 Sep 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH11 4DF | | 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 | Sighthill/Gorgie | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 77 - Agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services ### Codes - 77200000 - Forestry services ## Release History - 31 Aug 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG457778 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG457778&idx=1 31st August 2022 - Beinn Ghlas Tender Document - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG457778&idx=2 31st August 2022 - Pictures - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG457778 NTS Beinn Ghlas Fencing Tender, Ben Lawers - The Trust is seeking tenders for the installation of a new build section (approx 2.3km) of red deer proof electric fence with out lying electric wire and several sections of upgrade fencing to existing dykes and stock fences, totalling approx 2.25km, as part of a project funded through NatureScots 'Nature Restoration fund'.
