Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales has initiated an open tender for a Framework Agreement aimed at hiring mobile plant equipment to complement their existing resources across North Wales. This procurement process, under the "services" category, is currently at the tender stage with a deadline for submissions by 12th December 2025. The inquiry period concludes on 5th December 2025. The tender, valued at approximately £400,000 to £480,000, aligns with several classifications including agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and apicultural services. Located in Cardiff, this opportunity falls under the jurisdiction of Welsh devolved regulations and aims to establish a four-year framework agreement to be potentially renewed or terminated based on annual performance reviews.

This tender presents a promising opportunity for businesses offering agricultural or related services, especially those capable of meeting the technical and economic criteria set by Natural Resources Wales. With an allowance for a maximum of four participants in the framework, businesses adept at competitive pricing and technical solutions are well-positioned to benefit. The framework agreement structure, with potential renewal based on performance, provides an ongoing opportunity for sustained business growth. Small and medium-sized enterprises are encouraged to participate, given their suitability for the scale and scope outlined in the tender documents.
