## Summary

The procurement process involves a tender initiated by the Defra Network eTendering Portal for the repair of sections of the Limestone Road through Thorne Moors Nature Reserve. This project falls under the industry category of environmental improvement works and road maintenance services, with a contract value of £13,080. The tender was published on December 12, 2016, and was scheduled to close on January 13, 2017. The awarded contract is set to commence on January 25, 2017, and conclude on March 31, 2017, with all work taking place in England.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in road maintenance and environmental services. Companies capable of sourcing non-alkaline materials and maintaining ecological standards will find themselves well-suited to compete. The work requires expertise in ensuring public access and safety while preserving sensitive habitats, thus attracting businesses with a focus on sustainability and environmental stewardship.

## Notice

Repair of sections of the Limestone Road at Thorne Moors, Natural England including the ordering, supply and taking delivery of hard core materials to do the work. Complete essential maintenance of tracks at National Nature Reserve (NNR) to ensure it is safe for visitors, staff and contractors; and to enable important habitat management works to be carried out to safeguard and enhance the SSSI/SAC features. A more level road for vehicles and walkers able to withstand use in-between annual minor repair schedules (in house) in the future. The ideal will be to remove the current pot holes so water does not stand on road and resulting passing of vehicles does not take materials with wash out. Material is limited on the NNR so as not to pollute the acidic habitat of the Moors - a peat bog. Material that has best been used to fix in the past has been granite at 40mm down to dust although alternatives can be suggested by the supplier winning the contract if they feel an equally or superior material is identified. Materials should be non-alkaline, so not limestone, and not crushed brick/building rubble (which contains cement).
