Summary of the contracting process

Natural England procured works to provide a water-feed installation at Wisteria Farm, Middlemoor Drove, Northmoor Corner, North Newton, Somerset. The requirement is classified as storm-water piping construction work and forms a single works package. The site is in Somerset, with the named farm location identifying where the activity is to be carried out. Natural England is a central government public authority and the buyer for this requirement. The procurement concerns physical construction and associated installation activity rather than the supply of standalone goods or consultancy services. It is therefore relevant to contractors experienced in drainage, water infrastructure, storm-water pipework and similar site-based construction works, particularly those able to work at the Somerset location and meet the requirements set out in the request for quotation.

The procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to KEN MARSH LIMITED and signed on 10 August 2026. It used a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 17:00. The original estimated value was £49,950 excluding VAT (£59,490 including VAT). The signed contract value is £49,925 excluding VAT (£59,910 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. There was one lot, covering the full requirement, and it was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Bids were to be submitted by quotation against the request for quotation, with electronic submission not allowed. Evaluation details were set out in the request for quotation.

This award provides a clear indication of Natural England’s requirement for short-duration, site-based storm-water piping construction at a nature-related operational site in Somerset. A credible future competitor would need practical drainage and water-infrastructure construction capability, including the ability to deliver pipework and associated works safely and to the specification in the request for quotation. The successful supplier was an SME, and the single-package structure shows that the buyer has procured the requirement as one manageable works contract rather than separating it into specialist lots. Businesses of a similar scale with relevant construction experience may therefore be well placed, provided they can produce a compliant commercial quotation, work at the specified Somerset site and satisfy the technical and delivery requirements in the procurement documents.
