Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Castle Eden Dene Lightning Protection" project, managed by Natural England, has reached the award stage. The tender involves risk assessment and installation of lightning and surge protection at the Castle Eden Dene building located in the North East of the United Kingdom. The industry category for this tender is lightning-protection equipment, under the CPV code 31216100. Natural England, headquartered in Worcester, acted as the contracting authority, and the open procedure was used for this below-threshold project. The tender period concluded on 5 March 2025, with the contract period scheduled to run from 10 to 31 March 2025. The awarded contract, valued at £18,371.11, was formally announced on 13 June 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in lightning protection equipment and services. Given that the procurement method was an open procedure, it allowed various qualified businesses to compete, thereby encouraging competitive pricing and innovation. Companies experienced in electrical safety installations, particularly those with expertise in risk assessment and surge protection, would find themselves well-suited to tenders of this nature. The project's moderate budget further indicates that SMEs are viable candidates, providing them a platform for growth and an opportunity to enhance their portfolio in public procurement contracts.
