UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Natural England, aims to refurbish an existing cattle handling facility with an expanded capacity to accommodate up to 1,000 sheep. This tender is classified under the industry category of cattle, livestock, and small animals, with a focus on goods. Located in the United Kingdom, the project's procurement stage is active within the tender phase. Interested parties must submit their quotations by 5:00 PM on Friday, 14th August 2026, for consideration. The open competition procurement method falls below the threshold, and submissions are required to be sent electronically to Ben Hanley at the given email address.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses in the livestock and agricultural infrastructure sectors, particularly those familiar with handling facilities. It's well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its procurement value and openness to competition. Companies specialising in facility refurbishments and those experienced with livestock equipment could leverage this project to enhance their business presence and portfolio within central government contracts, given Natural England’s role as a public authority in central government.
