The requirement is peatland restoration, classified under CPV 45262640, with the work divided between sites at North East Hope and identified site areas within Sutherland. The procurement covers two works packages: North East Hope – Site 1 and North East Hope – Site 2. The supporting material includes statements of work, site-specific pre-construction information and mapping files, indicating that delivery will take place on defined outdoor restoration sites rather than at a single office or facility. This is a works contract for contractors able to plan and carry out peatland restoration activities in the specified Sutherland locations, working from site information and detailed tender requirements. The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. Bids were due by 21 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened; the award period was scheduled to start at that time. Lot 1, North East Hope – Site 1, has a contract duration of 150 days. Lot 2, North East Hope – Site 2, has a contract duration of 120 days. Suppliers may bid for both lots. Variants are not allowed. Both lots include a renewal provision for later phases or sites, described as 1+1+1 or similar contracts at award stage. The tender includes a specification, costing model, questionnaire, PQQ and site information. This opportunity is suited to contractors delivering environmental land-management or civil engineering works, particularly businesses with practical peatland restoration capability and experience working on rural or remote sites. Suppliers will need to interpret statements of work, pre-construction information and mapping, prepare costs using the supplied costing model, and complete the tender questionnaire and PQQ. The two-site structure allows a business to pursue either package or both, supporting participation by contractors with different delivery capacities. The requirements point to organisations able to manage site-based works safely, coordinate activities across defined restoration areas and provide a suitably experienced delivery team. Contractors with established environmental works operations, relevant site-planning systems and the capacity to deliver projects lasting several months are likely to be best placed to compete. ## Notice Peatland Restoration - works contract - phase 5+ ### Lot Information North East Hope - Site 2 North East Hope - works contract - Site 2 Renewal: Later phases / sites will be awarded as 1+1+1 or similar contracts at award stage.
