Summary of the contracting process

Peak District National Park Authority procured aerial works to support dam restoration at Rivelin and Moscar South. The requirement covers airlifting stone dam units, timber dam units and brash bags, together with associated preliminary and staff costs. This is an air transport and specialist helicopter logistics service, rather than general construction alone. The work is relevant to operators able to lift and place materials accurately in remote or difficult-to-access locations, and to contractors experienced in coordinating aircraft, ground teams, materials and site activity. The procurement is being delivered for the National Park Authority, with activity associated with the wider northern and central England service area. The requirement was arranged as one package and is classified as air transport services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a competitive selective mini-competition, with the award made under an existing framework and below the applicable threshold. Two suppliers were awarded contracts for the single package. T.S.L. Contractors Ltd signed a contract on 9 April 2026 for £3,100,000 net (£3,720,000 gross), covering 9–30 April 2026; a proposed change from 11 April added £34,710.18 net (£41,652.22 gross). A. H. Helicopter Services Limited signed a separate contract on 22 July 2026 for £49,021.03 net (£58,825.24 gross), covering 22 July–22 August 2026. Both contracts are recorded as active. The award was evaluated through the competitive framework process.

This award demonstrates established demand for specialist aerial lifting to support environmental infrastructure and habitat work in national park settings. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements will have suitable helicopters, lifting equipment, qualified pilots and crews, and the capacity to move heavy or awkward materials safely and accurately. Relevant experience includes airlifting stone, timber and brash materials, working around dams and upland or otherwise inaccessible sites, and managing the preliminary planning and staff resources needed before flight operations. Credibility would also come from strong aviation safety arrangements, competent operational planning, environmental awareness and reliable coordination with the Authority’s site teams. The use of a competitive framework mini-competition shows that suppliers able to access and perform through this procurement route are likely to be best positioned for the same type of requirement.
