Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, based in Peterlee, England, has awarded an open tender contract for the procurement of a small backhoe with a bucket and a 16x7ft tri-axel trailer to support agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The contract (ID: NE151124BT), valued at £14,650, was awarded to RICKERBY LIMITED and commenced on 18 December 2024, running until 31 March 2025. The procurement process, which included an open procedure below the financial threshold, concluded with the submission deadline on 6 December 2024, and the tender period started on 13 December 2024.

This tender presents various business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers specialising in agricultural machinery and transport equipment. Companies that produce or supply compact tractors and related attachments, such as trailers, would be well-positioned to compete as the backhoe must be compatible with specific equipment (ISEKI TH5370HST). Additionally, businesses offering extended warranties and maintenance plans could benefit from this procurement. The detailed requirements for the backhoe and trailer, including lighting, rear ramp, lashing points, and removable sides, highlight the potential for specialised manufacturing and servicing firms to showcase their product quality and after-sales services.
