UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is procuring the installation of sections of water pipe at Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve. The work is described as water installations and is intended to support the reserve’s infrastructure. The requirement covers one package of work, rather than separate service areas or supply categories. Delivery is at Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve in the United Kingdom. This opportunity will suit businesses that undertake water pipe installation and related site works, including smaller contractors able to deliver a defined installation project. The buyer is Natural England, a central government public authority responsible for the requirement. Suppliers should review the Request for Quotation, order form and commercial response documents to understand the technical scope, site requirements and quotation format before deciding whether the work matches their capabilities.

The process has reached tender: Natural England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Clarification questions had to be submitted by 23:59 on 21 August 2026, and quotations meeting the Request for Quotation had to be emailed by 23:59 on 4 September 2026. The contract is planned to run from 5 October 2026 to 30 October 2026. The estimated value is £20,833 excluding VAT, or £25,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with the same estimated value and contract period. Electronic submission is stated as not allowed, although the quotation response is to be sent by email. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award criteria are set out in full in the Request for Quotation.

This opportunity is aimed at contractors with practical capability in installing sections of water pipe in a national nature reserve environment. Suppliers should be able to interpret the Request for Quotation, prepare a compliant quotation, complete the specified installation work and manage delivery within the required contract window. Relevant experience in water installation, pipework, groundworks or similar site-based infrastructure projects would help a business demonstrate that it can meet the requirement, although the published information does not set out additional accreditation or qualification requirements. The single, defined package and the buyer’s stated SME suitability may make it more accessible to smaller installation firms. Businesses will need suitable labour, tools, equipment, materials and site-management arrangements for work at Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve, as well as the capacity to follow the RFQ’s technical and commercial instructions.
