Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Stodmarsh Access and Tracks Upgrade 2025, officially referenced as NNR19 0055, was undertaken by Natural England, a public authority within the central government sector of the United Kingdom. The contract involves work at the Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve in Kent, focusing on track and bund raising, resurfacing, and wildlife enhancements. Employing an open competition procurement method, this process was below the established threshold, and the completion stage was achieved with an active contract awarded on 22nd July 2025. The awarded contract commenced on 4th August 2025 and is set to conclude by 12th September 2025. This project falls under the 'works' category, with a total gross contract value of £55,464, and involved excavation and earthmoving work, specifically classified under the CPV code 45112000. The procurement process was comprehensive, requiring site visits as part of the submission prerequisites, ensuring detailed understanding and compliance from potential suppliers.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in infrastructure development and environmental management, particularly those familiar with natural reserve enhancement projects. It highlights potential growth avenues for SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) within the construction and earthmoving industries, given the project's classification and procurement requirements. Companies like FGS Pilcher LTD, who have successfully been awarded this contract, exemplify the type of business capable of undertaking such sophisticated works, indicating robust capabilities in delivering quality enhancements to natural environments. The contract could be especially advantageous to firms looking to strengthen their portfolios in public sector and environmental projects, thereby expanding their market presence in these sectors.
