UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Downs National Park Authority is procuring works to restore thirteen ponds in the Selborne area of Hampshire, within the Selborne Landscape Partnership and surrounding area. The requirement is environmental and landscape restoration, including landscaping work for green areas. Delivery is in Hampshire, and the buyer is the South Downs National Park Authority, based in Midhurst. The work is intended for a supplier able to undertake pond restoration across multiple sites as a coordinated programme. It is a single requirement rather than a collection of separately described services, covering the restoration of all thirteen ponds. Businesses specialising in habitat restoration, pond and wetland works, countryside management, ecological landscaping or related environmental construction should assess the technical requirements and site conditions before deciding whether to bid.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Tenders must be submitted through the In-tend e-tendering portal, with electronic submission allowed. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 1 September 2026 at 13:00 BST. The contract is scheduled to run from 21 September 2026 to 1 February 2027. The estimated gross value is £114,000 for the requirement. Evaluation is based on the proposed approach and project timeline (30%), price (30%), project resourcing (20%), general and environmental risk management (10%), and sustainability (10%). The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and comprises one lot.

This opportunity suits contractors with practical experience in restoring ponds and wetlands, carrying out environmental landscaping and managing works across several countryside sites. Bidders need to demonstrate a credible approach to delivering the restoration programme, including a proposed project timeline and effective allocation of people, equipment and other resources. The evaluation also gives weight to general and environmental risk management, so suppliers should be able to identify and control risks arising from works in a landscape setting. Sustainability is assessed separately, favouring businesses able to explain environmentally responsible methods and outcomes. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, including specialist ecological contractors, land-management businesses and environmental civil engineering firms with the capacity to coordinate multiple restoration locations.
