The project will restore a degraded peatland area using standard restoration techniques set out in the Peatland ACTION Technical Compendium. The works cover a significant area of peat haggs, gullies, drains, peat pans and micro-erosion features. The requirement is classified as environmental restoration and construction work, including peatland rehabilitation and associated site works (CPV 45454100). NatureScot is identified as the review body. The delivery site is Braemore Estate, Highlands, so suppliers will need to plan for work in a rural Highland location and address the access, elevation, watercourse-crossing and designated-site conditions described in the tender information. The procurement has reached tender: ADLnature invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with variants not permitted. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 18 September 2026 at 09:00. The contract period is 300 days. Bids must remain valid until 30 April 2027. Electronic payment is available and electronic invoicing is allowed. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. It is arranged as one lot, with no renewal or additional-purchase option. The tender requires bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The stated requirement uses standard peatland restoration techniques, with detailed requirements and site information forming part of the tender package. This opportunity suits environmental contractors, peatland restoration specialists and civil engineering businesses with practical experience repairing degraded peatlands. Relevant capability includes restoring peat haggs, gullies, drains, peat pans and micro-erosion, together with managing associated watercourse crossings and working around designated sites. Suppliers should be able to apply recognised peatland restoration methods and interpret technical requirements covering peat depth, elevation, location and access. The rural Highland setting favours businesses with suitable plant, operatives and logistical capacity for a substantial site-based works programme. The requirement to name assigned staff and provide their professional qualifications means bidders should have an identifiable, suitably qualified delivery team. Contractors able to coordinate environmental protection, access planning and restoration construction are likely to be best placed to compete. ## Notice The purpose of this project is to restore an otherwise degraded area of peatland through the use of standard restoration techniques (that can be found within the Peatland ACTION Technical compendium (https://www.nature.scot/doc/peatland-action-technical-compendium)).
