This project, located within the UKK region at Goss Moor National Nature Reserve, falls under the "works" industry category and specifically involves scrub-removal work. Interested parties must submit a quotation by 12:00 on 5th August 2026. The procurement process is open and below the threshold of open competition, emphasising physical attendance at a site visit. The project is expected to commence in late August 2026 and conclude by late September 2026. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for contractors with a background in ecological management and conservation work. Businesses specialising in mechanical and manual clearance methods, familiar with working on protected sites like Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), would be well-positioned to compete. Given that the successful completion of the initial work may lead to further contracts under the same programme, SMEs can notably benefit, offering the potential for continued engagement and expansion of their portfolios in environmental conservation projects. ## Notice Natural England is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor with a demonstrable track record of working on designated sites, specifically Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Special Areas of Conservation (SAC). The appointed contractor will be responsible for the clearance of approximately 2.1 hectares (Gross)of light to mature scrub across three defined work areas within Goss Moor National Nature Reserve. Clearance operations may be undertaken using a combination of mechanical methods (e.g. tree shears/snips) and manual techniques. All arisings will be disposed of via controlled in-situ burning. In addition, chemical stump treatment will be required for all cut stumps exceeding 2 inches in diameter to prevent regrowth. The programme of works is scheduled to commence in late August 2026, with completion targeted for late September 2026. This contract forms part of a wider habitat management programme aimed at removing scrub and semi-mature tree encroachment from priority wetland habitats. There is potential for scope expansion within the same area, subject to the successful delivery of the initial works and adherence to programme timelines. Timely completion will be a key performance indicator, and strong delivery against deadlines may result in the allocation of additional clearance areas under this contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053841-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 5 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Aug 2026 - 31 Oct 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | £30,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATURAL ENGLAND | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45111220 - Scrub-removal work ## Release History - 8 Jun 2026 at 13:34 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053841-2026 - 8 Jun 2026 at 11:02 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053738-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053841-2026 8th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/053738-2026 8th June 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-17375 RFQ - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-17376 Order Form - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-17377 Commercial Response - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-17400 RFQ ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
