## Summary

The procurement process involves Natural England, operating under the Defra Network, which has recently concluded a tender for the project titled "Improvements to the National Trails Website." This initiative falls within the IT software package industry category and spans locations across the United Kingdom and overseas territories. The procurement stage has been marked as complete, with a procurement method described as a "direct" approach, specifically a single tender action below the threshold. The tender period ended on 12th February 2020, while the contract runs from 13th February 2020 to 31st March 2021, with a total contract value of £25,143.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand their services, particularly those in the IT and online services sectors. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-positioned to compete, given the emphasis on minimal ongoing management and essential functionality enhancements. Companies that can efficiently deliver software solutions and user-friendly website adaptations could find this project particularly advantageous for growth and collaboration within public sector contracts.

## Notice

Natural England (NE) are expanding the NationalTrailBreaks.com website to include all essential information from the Nationaltrail.co.uk website. The aims are to adapt the newer NationalTrailBreaks.com website so that it can include all of the essential information and functionality. The work has been planned to minimise the need for day to day management of the site, and to reduce the number of enquiries. Therefore a medium term requirement to ensure continued provision of the National Trail website until 31st March 2021 earliest. Due to likely future changes in strategic management of National Trails this is not seen as an on-going arrangement.
