UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is buying goods for land and forestry management at Moss Side Farm: a woodchipper and a forestry flail suitable for use with a Loglogic Softrack 140. The requirement falls within agricultural and forestry machinery for soil preparation or cultivation. The buyer is Natural England, a central government public authority. Delivery is required in North West England. This is a focused equipment supply opportunity rather than a works or managed service contract. Suppliers should be able to provide both machines as a compatible package for the specified Softrack carrier and meet the technical requirements in the Request for Quotation. The requirement is presented as a single package, so businesses interested in supplying either compatible forestry attachment should check whether they can provide the complete combination.

The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. The quotation must be sent by email by 9:00am on 19 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 October 2026 to 30 October 2027. Its estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. There is one lot covering the woodchipper and forestry flail. The award basis is set out in the Request for Quotation, which suppliers must use alongside the order form and commercial response form. Clarification questions about the requirement or procurement process can be sent by email; unless commercially sensitive, questions and responses may be circulated to all tenderers. Responses must meet the RFQ requirements.

This opportunity suits machinery manufacturers, agricultural and forestry equipment dealers, and specialist suppliers able to source and supply a woodchipper and forestry flail for a Loglogic Softrack 140. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller equipment businesses as well as larger suppliers. The strongest fit will be a supplier with practical knowledge of forestry attachments, equipment compatibility and the safe, reliable supply of machinery for land-management use. Capacity to provide both items as one package, complete the required quotation and commercial response, and support delivery in North West England will be important. The Request for Quotation contains the detailed technical and commercial requirements against which offers will be assessed.
