The project falls under the industry category of environmental protection. It is currently in the award stage, with a contract worth £80,000 signed on 27th January 2023. The project aims to restore a river and floodplain in Aberdeenshire, UK, offering business opportunities for consultancy firms in the environmental services sector. This public procurement tender provides opportunities for consultancy businesses specialising in environmental restoration to compete for a contract with RSPB Scotland. The project involves designing a restoration plan for the Tarland to Coull River area, focusing on improving natural functions and biodiversity. Businesses with expertise in ecological conservation, water management, and environmental engineering are well-suited to participate in this significant environmental restoration initiative. ## Notice Tarland Development Group is seeking to appoint a consultancy to undertake a river and floodplain restoration design using process-based principles that will allow the river valley to develop and function more naturally in the area downstream of Tarland, NJ482041 to NJ510025 (central grid reference NJ493038). ### Lot Information Lot 1 The catchment of the Tarland Burn drains through low-lying land between Tarland and Coull, then further to the River Dee at Aboyne. A natural depression in the landscape, forming part of the wider Howe of Cromar, floodwater accumulates here at varying times, though deep drains take much of it away quickly through the central, straightened channel of the main burn. The area downstream of Tarland was originally a loch with islands, as shown on a map from 1832, but it is now an unnaturally deep single channel disconnected from its floodplain. The Tarland Burn is part of the River Dee Special Area of Conservation (SAC), which is designated under the EU Habitats Directive for otter, freshwater pearl mussel and Atlantic salmon. Water voles have recently been re-introduced. However, the ecological status of the Tarland Burn is classified as Bad under the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) due to its morphology. This partnership project aims to restore the valley of the Tarland Burn between Tarland and Coull (see Supplementary Documents). The project will transform the Tarland Burn area between the village of Tarland and Coull Bridge by restoring the natural flow in a rural catchment, providing positive benefits for habitats and wildlife, carbon sequestration and reducing flood risk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN496291 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jan 2024 | | Submission deadline | 23 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Jan 2023 | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2023 - 31 May 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £84,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £80,000 | ## 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 | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CBEC ECO-ENGINEERING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71310000 - Consultative engineering and construction services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 12 Jan 2024 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN496291 - 16 Dec 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC467140 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC467140&idx=3 16th December 2022 - Data collection spreadsheet - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC467140&idx=4 16th December 2022 - Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC467140&idx=1 16th December 2022 - Supplementary documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC467140&idx=2 16th December 2022 - Wetland study report - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC467140 Tarland to Coull River Restoration - Tarland Development Group is seeking to appoint a consultancy to undertake a river and floodplain restoration design using process-based principles that will allow the river valley to develop and function more naturally in the area downstream of Tarland, NJ482041 to NJ510025 (central grid reference NJ493038). - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JAN496291 Tarland to Coull River Restoration - Tarland Development Group is seeking to appoint a consultancy to undertake a river and floodplain restoration design using process-based principles that will allow the river valley to develop and function more naturally in the area downstream of Tarland, NJ482041 to NJ510025 (central grid reference NJ493038). ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.rspb.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000717225 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
