## Summary

Kyle of Sutherland Rivers Trust is buying floodplain wetland restoration work at Glencassley. The work involves blocking drains to restore wetland across the floodplain, using vehicles designed to operate on low-bearing ground. It is classified as construction work, specifically restoration work (CPV 45246000). The Trust is the buyer and is based in Ardgay. The requirement is focused on delivering practical restoration on a wetland site, with the specified low-ground-pressure vehicles forming part of the stated delivery approach. Suppliers should assess their ability to undertake drainage blocking and floodplain restoration at this location, rather than treating the requirement as general environmental consultancy or routine land management.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline set was 30 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC, and bids were to be submitted electronically or in writing; submissions were to be in English. The stated estimated value is £57,000. The contract period is 90 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. There is one lot covering floodplain restoration, with no variants permitted and no contract renewal or additional-purchase option. The scheduled bid opening is 2 November 2026 at 08:00 UTC, with the award period starting at that time. Electronic payment and ordering are used, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The tender requires bidders to provide the names and qualifications of assigned staff.

This opportunity suits contractors with hands-on experience in wetland or floodplain restoration, particularly drain blocking and work on soft or waterlogged ground. The requirement expressly calls for low-ground-pressure vehicles, so suppliers need suitable machinery and the ability to mobilise it to Glencassley without causing undue ground damage. Teams should be able to plan and deliver the restoration work within a defined 90-day contract period and provide the names and qualifications of personnel assigned to the job. The single-lot scope is suited to a contractor able to take responsibility for the restoration package as a whole. It may also suit specialist land-management or environmental works firms with operational capacity for site-based construction and restoration.
