Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, a public authority within the central government, conducted a procurement process for the installation of two cattle grids, access gates, and associated fencing in South West Cornwall. The project belongs to the construction industry category and took place on private tracks leading to a coastal location. This tender, identified by the title "INSTALL 2 X CATTLE GRIDS, ACCESS GATE'S & ASSOCIATED FENCING," was conducted through an open competition procurement method, specifically below the threshold. The procurement process reached the award stage on 9th October 2025, with MH GROUNDWORKS LIMITED securing the contract, which runs from 13th October 2025 to 26th March 2026. The works were valued at approximately £31,903.75 excluding VAT and £38,284.50 including VAT.

This contract provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction sector, particularly those specialising in infrastructure works such as roadways or site development. The project's location in South West Cornwall is conducive to engaging local contractors familiar with regional regulatory and environmental requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were highly suitable to compete for this contract due to the below-threshold open competition method, which encourages broader participation. The ability to consult tender documents and submit quotations through specified channels provided a straightforward entry point for interested businesses to engage with and possibly secure future collaboration with a significant public authority like Natural England.
