UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England sought refurbishment of its existing cattle handling facility at Top Handling Facility, with the aim of increasing its capacity so that it could also be used for up to 1,000 sheep. The requirement covered livestock and small-animal handling equipment and associated refurbishment works. Delivery was in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation was Natural England, a central government public authority. The opportunity was primarily categorised as goods, although the practical requirement combines equipment provision with the refurbishment and adaptation of an existing livestock facility. It was intended for suppliers able to deliver a suitable cattle and sheep handling solution and complete the required facility improvements.

The procurement reached the tender stage: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Quotations had to be emailed by 5pm on Friday 14 August 2026. The contract was planned to run from 1 September 2026 to 15 October 2026. The estimated value was £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. Electronic submission was not allowed; suppliers were required to send a quotation meeting the Request for Quotation requirements. The opportunity was a single lot, with evaluation details set out in the RFQ. The procurement was subsequently cancelled, with the award status recorded as cancelled on 26 August 2026.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized enterprises. It was relevant to suppliers experienced in refurbishing or adapting livestock handling facilities, particularly those able to work with cattle and sheep handling systems. Suitable businesses would need to understand the operational requirements of a cattle handling facility, increase its capacity for use with up to 1,000 sheep, and provide equipment or refurbishment work that meets the buyer’s stated requirements. Suppliers would also need to prepare a compliant quotation against the RFQ and use the commercial response template. The requirement may have suited specialist agricultural equipment suppliers, livestock facility contractors, and firms able to combine design, supply and installation capability.
