## Summary

Natural England has concluded a procurement process for the purchase of a livestock transport trailer specifically designed for use at Goss Moor National Nature Reserve. The procurement was classified under the agricultural machinery category, and the buying organisation is located in St Dennis, St Austell, Cornwall, UK. This open procedure tender commenced on the 4th of November 2024 and finished with an award date of the 11th of December 2024. Businesses had until midday on the 29th of November 2024 to submit their quotations. With a contract value ranging between £10,000 to £20,000, the trailer needed compliance with several specifications, including full LED lighting and a slurry tank sump. The contract period to deliver the trailer extends from the 6th of December 2024 to the 17th of January 2025.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses involved in manufacturing or supplying agricultural machinery, particularly those capable of providing bespoke solutions such as specified livestock transport trailers. Organisations classified as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this open procurement procedure advantageous due to its suitability criterion welcoming SME participation. The successful bidder, Truro Farm Machinery Ltd., demonstrates the potential for local businesses within the South West region to secure contracts with government agencies, thus fostering growth and expanding their market presence through public sector engagements.
