## Summary

The Sandford Heath Peatland Restoration project, led by Natural England, in collaboration with the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, focuses on ecological management in London, United Kingdom. This procurement process falls under the 'works' category and is concerned with site-clearance activities specifically aimed at peatland restoration. The process followed an open competition method, below threshold, ensuring accessibility to a range of suppliers. The contract was awarded to CD Forestry & Environmental Ltd, valued at £59,750, starting on 8th December 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026. Key dates included the tender period deadline on 27th October 2025 and the enquiry period closure on 17th October 2025, with award issuance completed on 4th December 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses skilled in ecological restoration and forestry management, particularly those with expertise in site-clearance and environmental works. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of managing open competition tenders, could find prospects for growth and collaboration with central government entities. With a focus on peatland restoration, organisations involved in sustainable forestry practices are well-suited to this initiative, benefiting from the opportunity to contribute to environmental conservation efforts within the UK region.
