UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is procuring security fencing works at Thorne Moors in the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve. The requirement is to supply and install 134 metres of Paladin fencing together with vehicle gates, providing controlled access and site security. This is a works contract for fencing contractors, gate installers and civil engineering businesses able to deliver physical installation on the moorland site. The delivery location is Thorne Moors, within the Humberhead Peatlands area of England. The buying organisation is Natural England, a central government public authority. The scope covers both the fencing materials and their installation, as well as the associated vehicle gates. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate fencing and gate workstreams.

The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited suppliers to submit quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Responses were required by 11:00 on 8 October 2026, using the quotation requirements in the Request for Quotation. Clarification questions were to be submitted by email, with questions and answers potentially circulated to all tenderers. Electronic submission was not allowed. The contract period was set from 26 October 2026 to 31 December 2026. The estimated value is £20,000 excluding VAT, or £24,000 including VAT. There is one lot, with the opportunity identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award basis was set out in the Request for Quotation rather than described in the tender data.

This opportunity suits a fencing contractor or specialist installation business able to supply and erect Paladin fencing and install vehicle gates as one coordinated package. Relevant capability includes measuring and preparing the work area, supplying compatible fencing components, completing a secure installation and fitting gates suitable for vehicle access. Suppliers need the practical capacity to complete the works within the stated contract period and to manage delivery at Thorne Moors. The requirement is specifically identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may fit a local or specialist contractor with the resources to undertake a single-site installation. The Request for Quotation contains the detailed technical and commercial requirements that bidders must meet.
