Natural England, a central government public authority located in London, UK, undertook an open procurement process for the acquisition of a small tractor to be used on the Suffolk coast national nature reserve. The tender, titled "Suffolk coast NNR small tractor purchase," falls under the industry category of goods, specifically tractors. The contract, valued at GBP 38,956 net, was awarded to Ernest Doe & Sons Limited, a large supplier based in Essex.
