## Summary

The Cairngorms National Park Authority, in collaboration with the Scottish Government, has initiated a tender process for the "Peatland Restoration - Mar Estate, Alltan Odhar" project. The contract, focused on environmental protection and general public services, entails a peatland restoration in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland. This procurement, under an open procedure, is in the tender stage and boasts a total project value of £311,717. The procurement process is being conducted electronically via the Public Contracts Scotland platform, with the submission deadline set for 10 February 2026 at midday. The award period also commences on this date. Contractors will be expected to comply with a 90-day performance timeline, beginning in July 2026, contingent on environmental constraints, and concluding by 18 September 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental restoration and civil engineering works. Firms that can supply the required machinery, offer expertise in peatland management, or facilitate airlift logistics will find particular advantage. The project offers growth potential for suppliers capable of delivering services within the stipulated timeframe and budget, demonstrating adaptability to the ecological considerations unique to the Cairngorms region. Businesses experienced in similar large-scale environmental projects and those with a focus on sustainable practices will be well-suited to compete for this contract.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Mar Estate are seeking a competent contractor to deliver this work and aim to award contracts ready for commencement on 1 July 2026. This date is dependent on breeding bird constraints, and the commencement date will be confirmed in June 2026. Contractors should be prepared for project commencement not being until later in July as a possibility. An airlift is to be carried out within the first 2 weeks of July (pending confirmation of no breeding bird constraints), to ensure materials are in place to carry out track maintenance works on the way into site. During this time, one excavator will be required to load the stone at the laydown area, and one machine will be required to carry out the track maintenance. Mobilisation of all four machines to the project area must then be carried out for restoration works to start 15 July 2026. Works must be completed, and all equipment mobilised away from the site, by 18 September 2026. This deadline reflects estate requirements and tenders will need to demonstrate this deadline for completion can be met.
