## Summary

Natural England is buying a package of specialist attachments for a Kubota KX060-5 excavator, for forestry, land-management and related field work. The equipment must be compatible with bio-hydraulic oil and with a tiltrotator system. The requirement includes a tiltrotator hitch with mounting bracket for an Exac-1 Tree Lopper; an auger drive with a 6-inch earth drive; a timber grab with a 1,500 mm jaw opening; a 900–1,000 mm mulcher; trenching, digging and grading buckets; a 1,500 mm land rake bucket; and a 1,500 mm grading beam with compactor roller. Delivery is to Lower Penrose Veor Farm, St Dennis, St Austell, Cornwall. The buyer is Natural England, a central government public authority.

The procurement has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers must submit their quotation against the Request for Quotation by email, with electronic submission not allowed through the procurement system. Quotations must reach the buyer by 12 noon on 7 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 14 October 2026 to 29 January 2027. The estimated value is £41,666.67 excluding VAT, or £50,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the award basis is set out in full in the RFQ. Clarification questions are to be sent by email and, unless commercially sensitive, questions and answers will be circulated to all tenderers.

This opportunity suits suppliers of excavator attachments, specialist agricultural or forestry machinery, and buckets, grabs and other equipment for excavators. Strong candidates will be able to supply a complete, compatible package for a Kubota KX060-5, including tiltrotator-compatible attachments and the specified dimensions and capacities. They will need to understand compatibility with bio-hydraulic oil and provide equipment covering tree-lopping, augering, timber handling, mulching, trenching, digging, grading, land-raking and compaction work. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and participation is reserved for suppliers in the UK. Businesses able to coordinate multiple attachments and deliver them to Cornwall are particularly well placed.
