Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, a central government public authority located in London, was the buying organisation for a procurement process titled "Easton Valley emergency overflow outfall installation." This project, classified under the goods category and focusing on outfall piping, was situated at Benacre National Nature Reserve in Suffolk. The procurement followed an "open" method suitable for below threshold competitions. The complete process culminated with a contract awarded on 8th October 2025, following the tender period which ended on 23rd September 2025. The contracts were active through October 2025, delivering the installation of emergency overflow outfall at a specific site in Easton.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and infrastructure, particularly those with expertise in water management systems and outfall piping installation. The open competition nature of the procurement, alongside its positioning below the threshold, suggests ample opportunity for SMEs like Alan Collyer and Sons, Ltd, which eventually won the contract, to participate and secure such contracts. SMEs in the region with capabilities in the requisite installation and technical expertise could leverage this opportunity for business growth and market expansion. The project's focus on emergency infrastructure installations also opens avenues for companies specialising in environmental and ecological solutions.
