The works are intended to restore degraded peatland using standard restoration techniques described in the Peatland ACTION Technical Compendium. The site includes substantial areas of peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drains, so the requirement covers practical restoration works in varied and potentially difficult ground conditions. The main category is construction and environmental restoration works, with peat extraction-related and earthmoving elements also classified. ADLnature is the buying organisation and central purchasing body. The procurement is arranged as a single lot for the complete restoration requirement. The process has reached tender: ADLnature invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 390 days. Bids must remain valid until 5 April 2027. The requirement is one lot, with variants not allowed and no renewal or additional-purchase option. English is the submission language. Electronic payment will be available and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender sets a requirement for bidders to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. This opportunity suits contractors specialising in peatland restoration, habitat restoration, environmental construction and associated earthworks. Relevant capability includes applying established peatland restoration methods and working safely and effectively across degraded ground containing peat haggs, gullies, peat pans, micro-erosion and drainage features. Contractors should be able to plan and deliver a substantial site-based works package, manage access and varied terrain, and provide appropriately qualified personnel whose names and professional qualifications can be included in the offer. Firms with practical experience of peatland or wider upland restoration, drainage management, earthmoving and environmental site delivery are likely to be well placed to compete. The requirement may also suit suitably experienced environmental civil engineering contractors able to deliver the full scope as one package. ## Notice The propose 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).
