The scope, project requirements and site information are set out in the Statement of Requirements, supported by restoration, spatial and location mapping. Site visits may be arranged directly with Strutt & Parker, and questions are to be submitted through the procurement portal. The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 17:00, with electronic bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract is planned to run from 15 September 2027 to 31 March 2028. The tender is for one lot and does not allow variants or renewals. Evaluation and participation requirements are based on the suitability information in the Statement of Requirements. Bidders must provide the names and qualifications of the staff assigned to the work. Bids must be in English and remain valid until 31 March 2028.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical experience delivering peatland restoration works and the capacity to undertake an estate-scale project during the specified delivery period. Suppliers should be able to interpret and work from a detailed Statement of Requirements, restoration map, spatial data and location map, and should be prepared to arrange a site visit where useful.
