Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is seeking tenders for a deer stalking contract at the Langley Wood National Nature Reserve for the period from 2025 to 2030. This procurement falls under the hunting services industry category and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in region UKK. The process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 23:59 on 27 July 2025. This open competition is being conducted below the threshold, with a total contract value amounting to £59,998 gross (£49,999 net), and it specifically welcomes quotes for the first year and projected costs for the ensuing four years.

This tender offers a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in hunting services to expand their operations. Suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, the contract requires bidders to provide comprehensive quotations and separate proposals for adjacent projects, like the one at RSPB's Franchises Lodge nature reserve. Engaging with this tender will allow companies in the hunting services industry to secure a long-term partnership, subject to continuation based on funding availability from Natural England in subsequent years. The open competition nature of the procurement means opportunities are accessible for various firms to tender their services.
