## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney has completed an award process for the procurement titled "Hackney Marshes Outdoor Classroom," which falls under the industry categories of agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural, and related services, as well as education and training services. The project aims to restore the Old Lea waterway to a more natural state, utilising rewilding techniques. This procurement, which is classified as a service contract, was part of a smaller scale process, legally based on the UK's 2023/54 legislation. Having been awarded to The Garden Classroom, a London-based SME, the contract commenced on 30th April 2026 and will run until the end of December 2027. The project is set in the UKI41 region, with a gross value of £40,808.

This tender provides lucrative opportunities for firms specialising in environmental restoration, rewilding projects, and ecological education services. The involvement of SMEs highlights the chance for small to medium enterprises to play a pivotal role in projects emphasising sustainable and ecological advancements. Businesses with expertise in promoting habitat complexity, improving water quality, and bolstering ecological resilience will find this contract particularly relevant. The procurement method, being below threshold, denotes an approachable entry point for companies with the necessary niche capabilities or aspiring to reinforce their portfolio in environmental and educational tenders.

## Notice

This project seeks to help restore the Old Lea, as far as possible, in both appearance and ecological function, transforming it into a cleaner, healthier, naturally flowing and more climate-resilient waterway. Rewilding interventions will mimic key natural processes typically driven by beaver activity, large herbivores, and woodland river dynamics, including tree fall, decay, and storm-driven channel change. These processes support habitat complexity, improve water quality, and strengthen ecological resilience.
