The project covers three separate farms: Chapelhope, Syart and Henderland. This is an environmental land-restoration requirement, focused on peatland and blanket-bog restoration rather than the supply of goods or routine services. The delivery locations are the three named farms within the estate. The procurement is classified under CPV 45454100, covering restoration work. Tweed Forum is the buyer and a central purchasing body. The requirement is set out as a single contract covering the whole described restoration project, with performance terms linked to the Statement of Requirements. The work is therefore suited to contractors able to plan and deliver substantial ecological restoration across several rural sites in the Scottish Borders. The tender stage was reached: Tweed Forum invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission accepted. The bid submission deadline set by the buyer was 18 September 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract period was set from 1 September 2026 to 29 February 2028. Bids were scheduled to be opened on 21 September 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with the award period beginning at that time. The procurement has one lot and no renewal or additional-purchase options. Variant bids are not allowed. The selection basis is suitability against the Statement of Requirements, and bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Submissions must be in English. Electronic payment and ordering are provided for, while electronic invoicing is allowed. This opportunity suits environmental contractors with practical peatland, blanket-bog or wider habitat-restoration capability. Relevant businesses are likely to be able to mobilise teams across multiple rural work sites, coordinate activities on separate farms and deliver restoration works in line with a detailed Statement of Requirements. The requirement favours suppliers that can demonstrate suitably qualified personnel, because staff names and professional qualifications must be provided as part of the bid. It may suit specialist ecological contractors, land-management businesses, civil engineering firms with peatland expertise, and experienced consortia combining these capabilities. Businesses should be able to manage a substantial landscape-scale restoration programme, work safely in rural conditions and provide clear evidence that their proposed team is suitable for the required works. The procurement is a works contract rather than a consultancy-only assignment or goods supply. ## Notice This contract is for the restoration of a 587-hectare area of blanket bog at Wemyss & March Estate in the Scottish Borders.
