## Summary

Hertfordshire County Council procured grazing infrastructure works at Saffron Green. The requirement was to create a livestock-proof barrier and supporting cattle-management facilities. The works included removing and disposing of approximately 1,140 metres of old barbed-wire fencing; supplying and installing approximately 4,400 metres of post-and-wire stock fencing with nine new field gates; installing three culverts; repairing 350 metres of fencing with new stock netting and posts where needed; installing two cattle-handling corrals; and installing four water troughs with associated water pipes. This is agricultural fencing and rural infrastructure work, classified under CPV 45342000, erection of fencing. The buyer is Hertfordshire County Council, a sub-central public authority. The selected supplier was Farm & Country Supplies Limited, an SME based in Leigh-on-Sea.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Farm & Country Supplies Limited. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026, with an award recorded for the works and an active contract from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. It may be extended to 30 June 2027 if ground conditions delay the works, with no effect on cost. The awarded contract value is £88,480.08 gross, in GBP. The procurement was for works and was below the relevant threshold. The contract remains active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the fencing classification; detailed award criteria are not stated in the available procurement information.

This procurement demonstrates a council requirement for practical livestock and rural-estate infrastructure delivered as one coordinated package. A credible future competitor would need experience removing and installing stock-proof fencing at kilometre scale, constructing field gates, repairing existing fencing, and working safely around agricultural land and livestock. Capability in drainage-related works, including culverts, would be relevant, as would the ability to install cattle corrals, water troughs and associated pipework rather than treating fencing as an isolated service. Suppliers should be able to manage disposal of removed materials, coordinate several workstreams and work around ground conditions that can affect delivery. The selected SME shows that this type of council requirement can suit a focused agricultural contractor with the capacity to deliver fencing, cattle-handling and rural water infrastructure together.
