The project will restore a degraded peatland area using standard restoration techniques described in the Peatland ACTION Technical Compendium. The work covers a significant area containing peat haggs, gullies, peat pans and micro-erosion. It is classified as works, with the main activity being environmental restoration and associated land-management construction. The requirement is described in a statement of requirements, supported by a designated-sites map, peat-depth information and tender costings. The project is for delivery at Ceannacroc Estate, Highlands, and is being bought by ADLnature, which is acting as the contracting organisation and central purchasing body. The process reached tender: ADLnature invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for bids was 18 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened and the award period was due to begin. The contract period is 540 days. Bids must remain valid until 30 April 2027. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and electronic payment is available; electronic invoicing is allowed. Bids must be submitted in English, and variants are not permitted. Bidders are required to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. The procurement has one lot and does not include renewal or additional-purchase options. This opportunity suits environmental restoration contractors and civil engineering businesses with practical experience of peatland repair and degraded upland terrain. Relevant capability includes working safely and effectively around peat haggs, gullies, peat pans and areas affected by micro-erosion, using established peatland restoration techniques. Contractors should be able to plan and deliver a substantial land-based works programme over the stated contract period, interpret site information such as peat-depth and designated-sites mapping, and provide appropriately qualified project staff. Businesses with teams experienced in habitat restoration, peatland hydrology, earthworks, access management and environmental protection are likely to be well placed to compete. The requirement may also suit specialist firms partnering with suitably qualified restoration or civil engineering subcontractors. ## 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).
