Summary of the contracting process

Natural England procured works to improve the Rodney Stoke Access Track in Rodney Stoke, Mendip, Somerset. The requirement is classified as track construction works and covers the physical improvement of an access route. The work is categorised as construction rather than goods or services. Natural England is the public sector buyer and central government authority responsible for the procurement. The delivery location is in Somerset, with the requirement focused specifically on Rodney Stoke. The opportunity was structured as a single requirement rather than separate service packages, so suppliers would need to provide the relevant track improvement works as one overall delivery. It is most relevant to civil engineering, access track construction, rural infrastructure and related groundworks contractors with suitable capability for this type of site-based work.

This completed below-threshold procurement used an open competition. It had one lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, with award criteria set out in the Request for Quotation. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at midday. The contract was signed on 19 August 2026 and awarded to MP & KM GOLDING LIMITED. The award has no separately stated value, while the contract value is £35,734.99 excluding VAT and £42,881.98 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 2 October 2026. The tender record describes the works as due for completion by the end of September 2026, while the contract period ends on 2 October 2026. The procurement is complete and the contract is active.

This award provides a useful benchmark for contractors supplying access track and rural infrastructure improvements to Natural England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience of track construction or improvement works, together with the staff, plant and site-management capacity to deliver a defined construction project safely and efficiently. The single-lot structure indicates that the buyer may seek a contractor able to take responsibility for the complete requirement rather than only a specialist element. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, and participation was reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller capable firms were within the intended supplier market. The successful supplier demonstrates that an SME can meet this type of requirement.
