Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is seeking services to restore peatland on lowland land formerly used for arable farming at Moss Side Farm Stuarts. The work is classified as agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services, with the practical requirement being peatland restoration works. It is a land-management and environmental restoration opportunity rather than a supply-only contract or construction project. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is being bought by Natural England, a central government public authority. Suppliers should review the Request for Quotation and associated order and response documents to understand the required restoration activities and the site-specific scope before deciding whether their operational capability is a suitable match.

The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. It is divided into one lot. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 9am on 28 September 2026, and quotations must meet the Request for Quotation requirements. Electronic submission is not allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 12 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The estimated lot value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The award basis is set out in full in the Request for Quotation. Clarification questions and responses may be circulated to all tenderers unless commercially sensitive. The buyer has set the opportunity aside for participation by suppliers located in the United Kingdom.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises that undertake peatland restoration or related environmental land-management work. Relevant suppliers are likely to be those able to plan and deliver restoration activities on lowland ex-arable land and to organise the personnel, equipment and site operations needed for a short, defined programme of works. Experience in agricultural, forestry, horticultural or similar land-based services may be relevant to the classification, but the central commercial fit is practical peatland restoration capability. There are no stated accreditation requirements in the available procurement information. Businesses considering a bid should assess their experience with comparable restoration works, capacity for the contract period and ability to provide a compliant quotation against the RFQ requirements.
