Summary of the contracting process

Natural England sought works to repair and construct wooden infrastructure forming the east-side decking of an eco-classroom. The requirement is a small construction and timber repair project, covering the decking infrastructure rather than general building services. Natural England is the buying organisation and the work is associated with its estate in England. The opportunity would suit contractors able to inspect, repair and construct external timber structures, with the practical capability to deliver safe, durable decking and associated wooden infrastructure. The requirement was classified as construction work. It was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller building, carpentry, joinery and property-maintenance businesses with appropriate experience of outdoor timber works.

The procurement reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders were required to submit a quotation meeting the Request for Quotation requirements by email by 23:00 on 28 June 2026; clarification questions were also submitted by email. The tendered value was £20,000 excluding VAT, or £24,000 including VAT. The planned contract period ran from 20 July 2026 to 10 September 2026. The lot was marked complete, but the award was cancelled on 9 July 2026 because the works would become part of a National Capital work plan instead. The evaluation basis was set out in the Request for Quotation, with full details in that document.

This opportunity was aimed at suppliers with practical construction capability in external timber infrastructure, including the repair and construction of wooden decking. Relevant businesses would include carpentry and joinery contractors, small builders, landscaping contractors with structural timber experience, and property-maintenance firms able to manage site-based repair works. Competitors would need to understand the requirements in the Request for Quotation, prepare a compliant quotation and deliver durable workmanship on an eco-classroom facility. The stated SME suitability supports participation by smaller firms rather than only large construction companies. Businesses with experience working safely around public, educational or environmental sites would be well placed to assess the requirement and provide a suitable delivery approach.
