Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, a central public authority based in London, led the procurement process for the provision of 60 GPS-enabled 'no fence' cattle collars at the Lizard National Nature Reserve (NNR). The procurement falls under the agricultural industry category, specifically targeting the need for global navigation and positioning systems. The tender process, conducted as an open competition below the threshold, commenced on 1st September 2025, with submissions concluding by 3rd October 2025 at midday. The contract was awarded to Monil AS, with the award date being 9th October 2025, and the contract period ending on 7th November 2025. The initiative aims to enhance cattle grazing management across 261 hectares, promoting ecological balance and visitor safety within the UKK region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a business growth opportunity primarily for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in agricultural technology and equipment supply. Companies with expertise in GPS and positioning systems would find significant traction in such projects, as this contract's requirements focus on advanced cattle management solutions. Participating in such ventures can open up avenues for SMEs to demonstrate technological capabilities and build strong relationships with government bodies like Natural England.

Notice Title

Provision of 60x 'no fence' cattle collars for the Lizard NNR

Notice Description

60 GPS cattle collars are required for the Lizard NNR to be used by a grazier as part of his higher tier agreement. The compartment totals 261 hectares and is a diverse mix of coastal grassland, lowland heath, ephemeral pools and ponds, wildflower meadows with some patches of scrubby Willow dominated wet woodland. Recent efforts from a large project have undertaken considerable habitat management in the form of winter heathland burns as well as the removal of most of the historical interior fences to graze the compartment as one large unit. Up to 60 cattle graze the site from late May to October and having GPS collars on each animal will considerably improve our ability to selectively graze specific areas at the right times. For example, recently burnt heathland becomes far more floristically diverse in the longer term if it is grazed in the early summer -reducing dominant grass growth such as Mollinia whilst also increasing the amount of bare ground and niches for rare invertebrates. On top of this, proper grazing pressure of burnt heathland reduces the need to burn so frequently going forward. Additionally, the coastal grassland and wildflower meadows would benefit greatly from staying ungrazed until at least July to allow the majority of spring and summer flowers to go to seed before livestock can access them. Given the location of this compartment to one of the most popular coves in West Cornwall (Kynance Cove) and the sheer number of visitors during August in particular it would also add a flexible safety element to grazing if it was required by pulling cattle off the coast path section for the summer holidays.
