The requirement is classified as works and covers site preparation and specialised construction work associated with restoring peatland. The detailed scope is set out in the Statement of Requirements. Delivery is at Ben Lui, Argyll. The procurement is being run by Scottish Natural Heritage, the environmental protection agency responsible for the requirement. The opportunity is relevant to contractors that carry out environmental restoration, peatland improvement, groundworks or related construction activities in challenging outdoor locations. The requirement is presented as a single package, with all work details and performance requirements governed by the Statement of Requirements.

The evaluation and selection requirements are set out in the economic and technical selection criteria and the Statement of Requirements; bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. A contract with full terms and conditions will only be awarded if Peatland Action grant funding is achieved. The stated award date refers to preferred-contractor notification, not contract award. This opportunity suits environmental contractors and civil engineering businesses with practical experience of peatland restoration, habitat improvement, site preparation or specialist groundworks. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver outdoor works at a named upland location, manage the physical requirements of a restoration project and demonstrate suitably qualified personnel. The tender specifically requires the names and professional qualifications of the staff proposed for delivery, so firms will need an identified project team whose expertise can be evidenced. The work is a focused, single-package requirement rather than a broad framework, making it most relevant to a contractor able to take responsibility for the full restoration scope. Businesses with experience delivering publicly funded environmental works may be well placed, subject to the detailed Statement of Requirements. ## Notice Peatland Action proposed restoration - Ben Lui - Argyll ### Lot Information Lot 1 All details within Statement of Requirements.
