UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the 'Moss Side Farm Peatland Restoration Fishers and Hunts' project was managed by Natural England, a central government public authority headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The procurement aimed to facilitate peatland restoration works on Moss Side Farm, located in the Chat Moss peat area of Greater Manchester. Initially launched with an open competition procurement method below the threshold, the process proceeded to the tender stage, which closed on 25th July 2025. Despite these efforts, the procurement was ultimately cancelled on 22nd August 2025 due to all bids exceeding the allocated budget.

This tender, while it was active, presented valuable business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises skilled in agricultural services and environmental restoration projects. With a focus on peatland restoration, businesses with expertise in ecological conservation and land management would have been well-suited to compete. Although the contract's cancellation suggests that budget precision was crucial, the visibility generated by participation could aid businesses in understanding government procurement requirements and positioning themselves for future opportunities.
