Summary of the contracting process

Natural England has undertaken a procurement process for the replacement of three existing 450mm culverts with non-return valves at North Moor Corner, located at Wisteria Farm, Middlemoor Drove, North Newton, South West, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "NRV Culverts NM Corner," falls under the industry category of Culverts (CPV code 45221220). The procurement method was an open procedure (below threshold) with a tender period ending on 15 August 2024. The contract period started on 1 September 2024 and will end on 31 March 2025. The tender aimed at enhancing the water management infrastructure to handle lower internal water levels and emergency flood events.

This tender presented significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in culvert replacements and water management structures. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in rigid plastic piping, geotextile membrane application, and the construction of motorway barrier headwalls were particularly well-suited to compete. The awarded contract, valued at £27,600, was given to Porter Plant Hire Services. Companies seeking similar opportunities could benefit by preparing quotations that fulfil the rigorous technical specifications and showcasing relevant past experience, thereby positioning themselves effectively for future tenders by Natural England.
