## Summary

The Cairngorms National Park Authority, located in Grantown-on-Spey, leads the Gaick Estate Peatland Restoration Project Coire na Coir South, focusing on environmental protection efforts within the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland. This open procurement process, carried under the 'works' category, concluded with an award on 14 July 2025 following a tender stage that ended on 2 July 2025. The project aims to restore 125 hectares of erosion-affected peatland over a site area of 162 hectares, with work commencing in late July and concluding by 19 December 2025. A key aspect includes the innovative use of helicopter transports for stone units necessary for the restoration. The project was successfully awarded to Robertson Fencing LTD - t/a Taiga Upland, with a contract value of £519,666 under an open procedure.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental and restoration works, particularly those specializing in peatland restoration and related equipment operations, such as low ground pressure machinery and eco-friendly infrastructure solutions. SMEs like Robertson Fencing LTD - t/a Taiga Upland, which provided a competitive tender, illustrate the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises to engage in public sector projects, enhancing their portfolios and visibility within the sector. With secured Peatland ACTION funding, businesses can engage in collaborative efforts with environmental protection authorities, expanding expertise in sustainable and eco-friendly development initiatives in the region.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This notice provides a statement of requirements and supplementary documents for a peatland restoration project with a site area of 162 ha (of which 125 ha have erosion features that are to be restored) to be delivered on Wildland's Gaick Estate in the Cairngorms National Park. The work will be tendered on a fixed price basis. The works will commence in late July 2025 with an expected completion date of no later than 19th December 2025. Four low ground pressure machines will be needed to complete the project in the required timeline. Helicopter lifts of 155 x 750kg stone units (116.25 tonnes in total) and 960m2 of coir mesh will be required. It anticipated that the distance for the helicopter to travel on each flight will be in the region of 2 to 4km. Helicopter flights will have to be scheduled for once it has confirmed that there are no protected breeding bird species constraints (so likely after WC 4th August). Once the stone has been dropped on site, it will need to be formed into required function (dam/baffle/spillway/rock armour by hand). Peatland ACTION funding is secured and in place for this project.
