## Summary

RSPB Scotland is seeking a contractor for peatland restoration at Clach Geala Forest to Bog, within the RSPB Forsinard Flows Reserve near Forsinard. The work is to restore forest to bog habitat and includes practical restoration operations, with treatment and material plans, peat-depth information, access maps and specifications for relevant peatland restoration techniques provided for the site. This is environmental restoration work, classified under CPV 90700000. The project is subject to external and funding conditions: the Highland Council’s prior notification and NatureScot’s SSSI consent are to be confirmed, and RSPB must secure funding before the works proceed.

RSPB Scotland invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 25 November 2026 at 09:00 UTC; the award period was due to start at that time. The single lot has a contract period from 16 August 2027 to 31 March 2028. No estimated contract or lot value is stated in the procurement data. The buyer requires staff names and qualifications, bids must be submitted in English, and variants are not permitted. The published procurement information gives no weighted evaluation breakdown, so the precise basis on which tenders will be compared cannot be summarised here. The works are conditional on the relevant prior notification, SSSI consent and funding being secured.

This opportunity is suited to contractors with hands-on experience delivering peatland or forest-to-bog restoration, and the capacity to carry out site-based works in the Forsinard Flows Reserve. Suppliers should be able to plan and manage restoration treatments and materials in line with site-specific peatland techniques, and work safely around the access and machine-access constraints identified for the site. Tenderers must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work, so a credible delivery team with relevant practical skills is important. The project is a defined restoration scheme rather than an ongoing service, and delivery depends on the required consents and funding being confirmed. No particular accreditation or certification is identified as a requirement.
