UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is procuring specialist training services for Catchment Sensitive Farming. The requirement is a BASIS Certificate in Sustainable Land Management course for up to 10 farm advisers, delivered through an existing course. The training is intended to support advisers working with sustainable land management and catchment-sensitive farming practices. The buying organisation is Natural England, a central government public authority. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is therefore relevant to training providers that already run a suitable BASIS Certificate in Sustainable Land Management course and can provide places for a small cohort of farm advisers. The requirement is for a defined training service rather than consultancy, construction, equipment or general professional services.

The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers must submit a quotation meeting the Request for Quotation requirements by email by 10:00am on 5 October 2026. Clarification questions are also submitted by email. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £19,834 excluding VAT, or £23,800 including VAT. There is one lot covering the complete requirement. The award basis is set out in the Request for Quotation and its accompanying documents, including the commercial response form, specification and order form. The course is to be delivered between the stated contract dates for up to 10 farm advisers.

This opportunity suits established agricultural and environmental training providers with an existing BASIS Certificate in Sustainable Land Management course. Suppliers should be able to deliver the course to a cohort of up to 10 farm advisers within the required delivery period and provide training aligned with sustainable land management and catchment-sensitive farming. Relevant businesses are likely to have experienced tutors, suitable course materials and the organisational capacity to schedule and administer places for Natural England’s advisers. The requirement may also suit providers already delivering the same course who can accommodate an additional public-sector cohort. Bidders will need to prepare a quotation against the buyer’s specification and commercial response requirements, so providers with structured pricing, clear delivery arrangements and experience of formal procurement responses are well placed.
