Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is buying a new Ryetec Contractor Flail Mower Collector C2200CHS Super for agricultural machinery operations. The requirement includes a front feeder plate, volume reduction bar, PTO shaft and guard, and full compatibility with a Valtra N135EA tractor. The supplier must provide delivery, installation, commissioning and operator familiarisation at Arne Farm, Arne, Wareham, Dorset. The machine must comply with current UK health and safety legislation, regulations, standards and manufacturing, supply, installation and operating requirements. The requirement also covers servicing, warranty support, maintenance, spare parts and technical assistance within a reasonable timescale after notification by Natural England. This is a goods requirement suitable for suppliers of specialist agricultural and grounds-maintenance machinery.

The process reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, with SME suitability recorded. Questions had to be submitted by 16:00 on 6 October 2026, and quotations meeting the Request for Quotation requirements had to be sent by email by 16:00 on 13 October 2026. Electronic submission was not permitted through the procurement system. The contract period is 16 October to 11 December 2026. The estimated value is £30,000 excluding VAT, or £36,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on the details in the Request for Quotation. The quoted price must be in pounds sterling and include delivery, installation, commissioning and operator familiarisation.

This opportunity suits an agricultural machinery supplier or dealer able to provide the specified Ryetec flail mower collector, its stated options and a PTO shaft and guard. A strong bidder will need to demonstrate that the machine is fully compatible with a Valtra N135EA tractor and meets all current UK health and safety requirements applying to manufacture, supply, installation and operation. The supplier must have the operational capacity to deliver and install the equipment at Arne Farm, commission it and familiarise operators with its use. It also needs after-sales capability covering servicing, warranty support, maintenance, spare parts and technical assistance within a reasonable response time. Businesses able to combine equipment supply with reliable local or UK-wide support are best placed to compete.
