The open procurement method indicates a transparent and competitive bid process, and the contract is expected to commence in Summer 2026, subject to funding, with an award notification date tentatively around 2 June 2026. This tender presents a significant opportunity for contractors with expertise in environmental restoration and land rehabilitation. Those involved in peatland restoration could find this particularly lucrative, given the project's scale and the collaborative work with Cairngorms National Park Authority's Peatland ACTION team. Firms that can efficiently manage large-scale environmental projects, particularly those with experience in handling complex ecosystems and actively eroding landscapes, would be well-suited to compete. As addressed in the tender documents, the contract terms facilitate electronic invoicing and payment, streamlining administrative processes for successful bidders. ## Notice Atholl Estates and Zora Ecosystems are partnering with the Cairngorms National Park Authority's Peatland ACTION team and experienced contractors to restore approximately 234 hectares of artificially drained and actively eroding peatland across the central beats - Clunes and West-hand, Feith Bhainn and Carn Dearg.
