The requirement covers approximately 120 hectares of actively eroding peatland, delivered as one phase and forming the estate’s third peatland restoration project. Zora Ecosystems is partnering with NatureScot’s Peatland ACTION team and experienced contractors. The work is classified as environmental restoration and construction activity, including restoration of natural habitats and peat extraction-related works. The buyer will use the completed restoration to address erosion across the estate. The Statement of Requirements, Design Plan, typical site conditions, spatial data, maps and schedule of costs define the site and technical scope. The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. It is one lot and variants are not permitted. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 9 September 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The buyer’s recorded award-period start was the same time, while 14 September 2026 was entered as the date for notifying the preferred contractor rather than the contract award date.

Evaluation uses suitability criteria, with details in the Statement of Requirements and Design Plan. Electronic payment and ordering are provided for. This opportunity suits contractors with practical peatland restoration capability and experience working on actively eroding peatland sites. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver habitat restoration works across a substantial rural estate in a single delivery phase, working from a detailed design plan, site-condition information, spatial data and mapping. The requirement is likely to suit firms able to manage site access and physical constraints identified in the project materials, coordinate delivery with the estate, Zora Ecosystems and NatureScot’s Peatland ACTION team, and complete the works within the specified delivery period.
