The buying organisation, situated in Melrose, focuses on restoring a 316-hectare blanket bog at the Wemyss & March Estate in the Scottish Borders, UKM91 region.

Embracing electronic submissions streamlines the application process, encouraging participation from a broad range of qualified businesses. ## Notice This contract is for the restoration of a 316-hectare area of blanket bog at Wemyss & March Estate in the Scottish Borders.
