This contract, which was awarded on 9th September 2024 and was published on 28th May 2025, is part of the environmental services industry with a procurement value of £11,000. Located in the United Kingdom, the tender sought the supply of specific quantities of WheelEEZ products, required within three weeks of the contract start date. Engaging through an open procedure below the threshold, the tender solicited quotations by 23rd August 2024, with the procurement process allowing for responses to be submitted via email to Heather Thomas at Natural England. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, within the environmental equipment supply sector. Companies specialising in the manufacture or distribution of beach trolleys and related equipment could effectively compete, especially those capable of meeting the specified requirements of preferred makes and models. Given the tender's open procurement method, it encourages a diverse range of suppliers to partake, enhancing their business reach within governmental contracts. This could substantially benefit businesses aiming to establish or grow a foothold in the environmental services supply chain by working with a prominent government entity like Natural England. ## Notice The requirement is detailed in the Request for Quotation document, in Table 1. Where appropriate, for continuity, the requirement will specify a preferred make and model. Where the preferred make and model is an essential requirement for the validity of the field survey methodology, this will be indicated by the label '(essential)' in the requirement. Where the preferred make and model is desirable but not essential this will be indicated by the label '(desirable)' in the requirement. The authority will accept an alternative make and model where the preferred make and model is desirable as along as the supplier can demonstrate the alternative make and model meets the full requirements of this tender.
