## Summary

The procurement process titled "RDE980 - Identifying opportunities for sediment retention" was conducted by Natural England, a public buying organisation located at Seacole Building 2 Marsham Street, London. This tender falls under the "Research and development consultancy services" industry category with CPV code 73200000 and covers various locations including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement advanced to the Award stage on 14th January 2026, following a previous Tender period that ended on 5th January 2026. The contract, valued at GBP 19,639, is set to run from 6th January 2026 to 31st March 2026, using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for entities specialising in sediment retention and environmental consultancy, particularly those with expertise in marine and coastal protected areas. However, the tender specified low suitability for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that larger firms or those with specific framework agreement access might find the most advantage. Given the international range of addresses applicable, businesses with a strong international presence or capability to operate across multiple regions would be well-suited to engage in similar procurement projects facilitated by Natural England.
