## Summary

Essex County Council has completed a procurement process for the construction of Mersea Island Stock Fencing. This contract, focused on creating a biodiversity net gain site at East Mersea for cattle grazing, falls under the 'works' industry category. The process reached the award stage on 16th January 2026, with the contract set to commence on 31st March 2026 and conclude on 30th April 2026. Located within the UK region UKH36, the procurement process was conducted as a limited competition below the threshold. Key legal guidance was provided by the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation. The potential for fencing CPV code 45342000 was the central focus within this tender.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential, especially for SMEs involved in construction and fencing. KJR Contracts Limited, an SME itself, was the successful supplier, demonstrating that smaller enterprises can effectively compete and secure contracts with sub-central public authorities like Essex County Council. Such contracts can provide stable project-based income and facilitate entry into public sector procurement processes for similarly positioned companies. Businesses with expertise in sustainable land development or environmental management services may find similar future opportunities to be advantageous for expanding their portfolios in preserving ecological sites.

## Notice
