Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales procured works under its Peatlands Restoration Framework 2026–2034, specifically Lot 2, through a call-off contract. The requirement is scrub-removal work supporting peatland restoration activity. The buying organisation is Natural Resources Wales, a public authority based in Cardiff. Delivery is in West Wales. The procurement concerns practical land-management and environmental restoration works rather than consultancy, supplies or general construction. The selected supplier is Spencers ECA, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Ceredigion. The work forms part of Natural Resources Wales’s wider programme to restore peatland habitats, with the call-off focused on removing scrub vegetation from the relevant site or sites.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Natural Resources Wales used a selective procedure for a below-threshold award under an existing framework, without a competitive call-off. Spencers ECA received the award for Lot 2. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 12 September 2026 to 26 September 2026, with a maximum extension date of 31 October 2026. Renewal is available if required. The contract value is £34,692.64 excluding VAT and £41,631.17 including VAT. The award was for works, evaluated through the framework call-off route. The contract is active and the tender status is complete.

This procurement indicates demand from Natural Resources Wales for specialist environmental land-management works delivered through its Peatlands Restoration Framework. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in scrub removal, including the equipment, labour and site-management arrangements needed to complete short, focused restoration works safely and effectively. Experience of working on peatlands or comparable habitat-restoration sites would help demonstrate an understanding of sensitive ground conditions, ecological constraints and reinstatement requirements. Suppliers should also be comfortable operating within a public-sector framework and responding to call-off requirements rather than relying only on open-market tenders. The incumbent is an SME, showing that this scale and type of work can be delivered by a suitably equipped specialist contractor.
