## Summary

The Peak District National Park Authority has awarded a contract for the project titled "Monsal Trail - Scaling to Rock Cuttings PM03511/25/05" in the services category, specifically geotechnical engineering services. This procurement took place through an open competition under the designation "Below threshold - open competition". The awarded contract, signed on 6th January 2026, encompasses scaling works along the Monsal Trail's rock cuttings, a project initially announced in October 2025. Located in the UKF13 region of Bakewell, the project, identified under tender ID 000725-2026, follows legal frameworks outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54 and is part of a comprehensive maintenance initiative for the trail. The contract, valued at a gross amount of £69,120, is set to conclude by 30th October 2026, reinforcing obligations for site management and vegetation removal.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the geotechnical engineering sector.

Companies with expertise in rock scaling, vegetation management, and embankment maintenance, especially those that can deliver cost-effective and high-quality solutions, will find this tender aligns well with their capabilities. The public procurement from a sub-central government authority, like the Peak District National Park Authority, highlights an encouraging landscape for SMEs to establish long-term partnerships and further their operational footprint within public-sector contracts.
