Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, based in Ulverston, Cumbria, has awarded contracts for the refurbishment and modernisation of the Roudsea Wood and Mosses NNR base, scheduled to be completed by 28th February 2025. The procurement, categorised under construction work for commercial buildings, was conducted via an open procedure below the threshold, inviting quotations by 23rd October 2024. The awarded contracts were finalised on 12th November 2024, with work commencing from 28th October 2024 and concluding by the end of February 2025. The project, valued at £49,999, was awarded to ABSEIL COMMERCIAL LIMITED for £17,770 and WARD GROUP LIMITED for £24,422, both small and medium enterprises (SMEs), reflecting Natural England's support for SME business involvement.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in commercial building construction, especially those skilled in refurbishment and modernisation projects. The potential for business growth is substantial, given the project's scope and the chance to collaborate with a reputable entity like Natural England. SMEs interested in contracts under £50,000 would be well-positioned to compete, leveraging this opportunity to enhance their portfolio and secure future public sector contracts. Essential for such businesses is a thorough understanding of open procedures and the ability to meet specific procurement requirements efficiently.
