UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is seeking refurbishment of its existing cattle handling facility. The work is intended to increase the facility’s capacity so it can also be used for up to 1,000 sheep. This is a livestock handling facility requirement covering cattle, sheep and other small animals, with the procurement classified under CPV 03320000. The requirement is for Natural England, a central government public authority. Delivery is in England. The scope is set out through the Request for Quotation, order form, commercial response, diagram and specification. Businesses with relevant livestock facility refurbishment, animal handling infrastructure or agricultural equipment capabilities should review those materials to establish whether their products and services match the required works.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: Natural England invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers were required to submit a quotation addressing the Request for Quotation requirements, with responses sent by email by 17:00 on 24 September 2026. Electronic submission was not permitted, although the quotation was to be emailed to the buyer. The single lot has an estimated value of £49,999 excluding VAT, or £59,999 including VAT. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 15 October 2026. The lot is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award criteria are described in the Request for Quotation, which provides the full evaluation details.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to refurbish livestock handling facilities and deliver practical infrastructure for cattle and sheep. The required outcome is increased handling capacity, including accommodation for up to 1,000 sheep, so businesses should be able to demonstrate that their proposed solution can meet the facility’s operational and animal-handling requirements. Relevant suppliers may include agricultural engineering firms, livestock equipment specialists, farm infrastructure contractors and businesses experienced in adapting existing handling installations. The requirement is specifically identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially accessible to smaller firms with the necessary technical capability and delivery capacity. The specification, diagram and Request for Quotation define the detailed requirements against which offers will be assessed.
