## Summary

Natural England has awarded a contract for the construction of a wheelchair accessible path with separate standing points in the North West of the United Kingdom. The project involves constructing a disability access path using granite crusher on peat substrate, along with soft standing for a compost toilet and hard standing for a shed. The project duration will be from 1st November 2024 to 30th March 2025, with a total value of £49,000. The procurement process was initiated via an open procedure below the threshold. The request for quotation (RFQ) required submissions by 9:00 AM on 28th October 2024.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs experienced in footpath construction and disability access infrastructure. The contract was awarded to REDFOX COUNTRYSIDE SERVICES LTD, making it an excellent reference for businesses involved in similar niche construction projects. Companies focusing on accessible infrastructure development or specialising in durable material installations in varying substrates are particularly well-suited to compete in such tenders, benefiting from the visibility and trust a contract with Natural England brings.
