UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England, a central government public authority, has initiated an open procurement process for the supply of a heavy-duty remote-controlled mower. The procurement, which falls under the goods category of specialist agricultural or forestry machinery, is targeted at the South East region of the United Kingdom (region UKJ). The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for quotation submissions set at 23:59 on 12 February 2026. Interested parties must send their responses via email to the contact point, Val Woods, at Natural England. The anticipated delivery date for the mower is by 9 March 2026, with the contract starting on 23 February 2026 and concluding on 9 March 2026. The procurement process is governed by legislation under the UKPGA 2023/54 and aims at a below-threshold open competition with a total contract value of £33,000 excluding VAT.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing and supplying heavy-duty agricultural machinery, particularly those that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs), as they have been indicated as suitable participants for this contract. The open competition process encourages a wide array of qualified suppliers to partake, offering potential for business growth through the expansion of client base within the public sector. Given the specified timeline and the potential need for bespoke solutions, companies with the capability to meet the specifications and delivery requirements outlined in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity.
