Summary of the contracting process

Natural England commissioned a co-ordinator for the Southern New Forest Deer Management Group, supporting development of the group and its contribution to the New Forest Deer Protected Site Strategy. The role is to help stakeholders agree a shared vision and purpose, establish formal membership and effective governance, and build the relationships and evidence base needed for the group to operate independently. This is environmental coordination and nature reserve-related work. Delivery is in the New Forest area of England.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to AXION SOLUTIONS LTD. Natural England used an open, below-threshold competition. The award date and signed contract date are not stated. The contract is valued at £15,500 excluding VAT (£18,600 including VAT) and runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original tender estimate was £18,750 excluding VAT (£22,500 including VAT). There was one lot, marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The response deadline was 18 September 2026. Evaluation criteria were set out in the request for quotation; detailed criteria are not described in the published summary.

This award shows Natural England’s demand for practical facilitation to help a local deer management group become independently governed and contribute to a protected-site strategy. A credible competitor would need to bring stakeholder coordination skills, the ability to build shared purpose and formal group arrangements, and sound governance facilitation. Experience developing constructive relationships among varied stakeholders and assembling an evidence base for long-term environmental management would be directly relevant. The work is a focused, short-term coordination assignment rather than a large delivery contract, and the buyer has previously run it as an open competition suitable for SMEs. Suppliers with relevant New Forest or deer-management knowledge may be well placed to understand the setting, alongside demonstrable capability in group development and environmental strategy.
