The work is classified as environmental protection services and will be delivered across the estate sites identified in the access, constraints and restoration plans. The contract will be with the landowners, with Caledonian Climate Partners acting on their behalf. The requirement concerns restoration works rather than the supply of goods. Tender information includes a Statement of Requirements, cost schedule, overall location plan, constraints map, phase-specific access and intervention plans, and spatial data covering access, project constraints and restoration activity. The project is dependent on funding being achieved. The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline for responses was 28 September 2026 at 17:00, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The contract period is 16 August 2027 to 30 November 2029. The tender response was intended to support a funding application due by 30 September 2026, with the funding outcome expected by 1 February 2027 at the latest. The suitability criteria require bidders to address all requirements in the Statement of Requirements. Bids must be in English, variants are not allowed, and bids remain valid until 30 November 2029. Electronic payment and ordering are supported, and electronic invoicing is allowed. This opportunity suits contractors that deliver peatland restoration works across multiple phases and can prepare a detailed response against a project Statement of Requirements. Bidders need to provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff proposed for the work, so it is relevant to firms with an identifiable, suitably qualified delivery team. The requirement also favours suppliers able to plan and manage work using site access information, constraints mapping, intervention plans and spatial data. Businesses should be comfortable pricing restoration activities in a structured cost schedule and organising their tender response in the required folder structure. It may suit specialist environmental contractors, land-management businesses and delivery partnerships with the necessary operational capacity. ## Notice Proposed Peatland Restoration works on Skelpick and Rhifail Estates Phases 1 - 3 ### Lot Information Lot 1 Tender process for proposed peatland restoration works on Skelpick and Rhifail Estates Phases 1 - 3.
