Summary of the contracting process

Natural England is buying and arranging delivery of a deer larder/chiller unit for Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve near Doncaster. This is a goods requirement for a special-purpose mobile container (CPV 34221000), intended to support deer management operations at the reserve. The supplier will need to provide a suitable chiller or larder unit and deliver it to the required site in England. The opportunity is relevant to manufacturers, specialist equipment suppliers, agricultural or estate-management equipment businesses, and distributors able to supply and transport this type of unit. Natural England is the buying organisation and a central government public authority. The requirement is a single lot and has been identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Bidders were required to send their quotation by email by 13:00 BST on 9 September 2026, with clarification questions also submitted by email; the tender period was set to end at 13:00 on 5 October 2026. Electronic submission was not allowed. The contract period was set from 7 October to 7 November 2026. The estimated value is £12,000 excluding VAT and £22,000 including VAT. There is one lot. The award criteria and full requirements are set out in the Request for Quotation, with the commercial response submitted alongside the quotation. Participation is reserved to organisations located in the United Kingdom.

This requirement suits suppliers with an established ability to source, manufacture or distribute deer larders, chillers, refrigerated units or comparable specialist mobile containers. Businesses should be able to interpret a detailed Request for Quotation, provide a compliant commercial response and arrange delivery to a national nature reserve near Doncaster. Relevant experience may include supplying equipment for estates, farms, game management, conservation bodies or other rural operational sites. The short contract period favours suppliers with the stock, production capacity, logistics and installation or delivery arrangements needed for a prompt fulfilment. It is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized businesses, including specialist manufacturers, equipment dealers and regional suppliers operating within the United Kingdom. The commercial opportunity is for a single equipment supply and delivery package rather than an ongoing service.
