Summary of the contracting process

Natural England procured works to upgrade stone tracks at two locations in the Moor House Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve: Widdybank and Garrigill. The scope covered filling potholes, regrading the tracks, compacting a new surface and carrying out limited drainage works. This is access road construction work (CPV 45233226), delivered in the United Kingdom. The work was bought by Natural England, a central government public authority. It concerns practical rural access infrastructure rather than consultancy, supply-only, or routine facilities management. Businesses should therefore have relevant track, access-road or estate-infrastructure capability and be able to undertake physical works at both named locations within the nature reserve.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. The quotation deadline was 17:00 on 10 July 2026. The estimated tender value was £13,708 net (£16,450 gross). One lot was awarded to MAYDENCROFT LIMITED, an SME. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and has a net value of £9,369 (£11,243 gross). Its contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. The tender was evaluated against criteria set out in the Request for Quotation. The procurement used non-electronic submission, with quotations required to meet the RFQ requirements and be sent by email. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates demand from Natural England for small-scale access-track improvement works in a protected rural environment. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be able to fill potholes, regrade existing stone tracks, place and compact new surfacing material, and carry out limited drainage works across more than one site. Credible competitors would need to organise practical site delivery, plant, materials and operatives for outdoor track construction, while working within the operational constraints of a national nature reserve. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller civil engineering, rural access, estate-maintenance or specialist trackworks business could be relevant. Experience delivering comparable access-road or countryside infrastructure works would support a competitive response to the same buyer.
