We are currently progressing negotiations with the neighbouring landowner who is amenable to entering into a formal agreement to permit access. The track is approximately 2.5km in length from the end of the public road and is in variable condition, with some areas almost impassable by a 4x4. Much of the track is wet throughout the year as it intersects historic peat banks and access routes at the top of the slope, which then drain water onto and down the track. The appendix includes a photo catalogue of the track, which was undertaken in dry conditions. The purpose of the tendered works is to re-instate the track into a robust useable condition to facilitate access for peatland restoration on Birsay Moors. The track will have to be used by 4x4 vehicles and excavators and for deliveries of fuel and materials to site. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR502679 | | 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 | 9 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 6 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Aug 2024 - 30 Sep 2025 | | 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 | 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 | TLM93 North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45112000 - Excavating and earthmoving work ## Release History - 9 Apr 2024 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR502679 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR502679&idx=6 30th April 2024 - Update to track section repairs - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR502679&idx=5 24th April 2024 - Site visit questions and answers - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR502679&idx=4 23rd April 2024 - Photos - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR502679&idx=3 23rd April 2024 - Access track - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR502679&idx=2 23rd April 2024 - Site location and access track - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=APR502679&idx=1 9th April 2024 - Invitation to tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR502679 Track maintenance work; RSPB Orkney, Black Moss, April 2024 - Tender For The Supply Of Track Maintenance Works On Black Moss Of Evrigert, Orkney Mainland, 2024-2025 ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.rspb.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000763301 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=763301 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
