UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The North York Moors National Park Authority initiated a procurement process titled "Peatland Restoration in the North York Moors - White Mires, Cropton Forest," focusing on environmental improvement works within the UK, specifically in Cropton Forest. Initially, this was an active tender under the 'open' procedure, influenced by a state of urgency, with a tender period ending on 26th November 2025, followed by the award period closing on 28th November 2025. Despite these efforts, the tender process was subsequently terminated on 14th January 2026, due to an insufficient number of tenders received to comply with financial regulations. As a public authority under sub-central government, North York Moors National Park Authority sought to engage suitable contractors for highly specialised environmental restoration tasks.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental and restoration services. It was ideally suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in delivering high-quality restoration work, given the specific award criteria that prioritised cost and quality, with a greater emphasis on the latter. The contract, valued at £130,000 (gross £156,000), was covered by GPA provisions, indicating its compliance with international trade agreements, thus broadening its appeal to internationally competitive businesses. The peatland restoration project was a practical opportunity for businesses aiming to expand within the environmental sector, given the focus on enhancing natural habitats in the nationally recognised North York Moors. Despite the unfortunate cancellation, future similar projects could arise, making it crucial for interested parties to stay informed.
