UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is procuring peatland restoration works on lowland former arable land at Moss Side Farm. The requirement falls within agricultural, forestry and related land-management services. The work is categorised as services and is intended to restore peatland on land previously used for arable farming, requiring practical delivery in the North West of England. The opportunity is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. It will suit organisations whose work covers peatland, habitat or wetland restoration, agricultural land management, ecological improvement or closely related environmental services. The buying organisation is Natural England, a central government public authority. Suppliers should assess whether their operational coverage and experience extend to restoration work on former arable land and whether they can deliver the specified outcomes at the Moss Side Farm site.

The process has reached tender: Natural England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders must submit a quotation addressing the Request for Quotation and use the accompanying response documents. Electronic submission is not allowed. Offers had to reach the buyer by 9am on 28 September 2026. Clarification questions were to be sent by email, with questions and answers potentially circulated to all tenderers unless commercially sensitive. The contract period was set from 12 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The estimated value is £12,000 excluding VAT and £50,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with the full award criteria set out in the RFQ. Participation is reserved for suppliers located in the UK.

This opportunity is aimed at UK-based suppliers able to carry out practical peatland restoration on lowland former arable land. Relevant businesses may include environmental contractors, peatland and wetland restoration specialists, habitat restoration companies, ecological land-management firms and agricultural contractors with suitable restoration capability. Experience of working on previously cultivated land, managing ground conditions, protecting or improving habitat, and delivering restoration measures would be directly relevant to the requirement. Suppliers should have the staff, equipment, site-management arrangements and environmental working practices needed to complete restoration works at a farm site. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be accessible to specialist SMEs as well as larger environmental or land-management contractors with the necessary practical capacity.
