## Summary

Natural England is seeking the supply of an excavator-mounted forestry mulcher for use in forestry and vegetation-management work. This is a goods requirement for specialist excavator-mounted equipment, classified under buckets, shovels, grabs and grips for cranes or excavators (CPV 42420000). Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Natural England, a central government public authority. The equipment will need to be suitable for mounting on an excavator and for mulching forestry or similar vegetation. Suppliers of forestry machinery, excavator attachments, plant equipment and related specialist machinery are likely to find this relevant, particularly those able to provide the specified equipment and meet the technical and commercial requirements set out in the Request for Quotation.

The process has reached tender: Natural England invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. Clarification questions had to be submitted by 23:59 on 18 September 2026. Quotations meeting the Request for Quotation requirements had to be sent by email by 12:00 midday on 28 September 2026; electronic submission was not permitted through the procurement process. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 28 February 2027. The estimated value is £12,500 excluding VAT, or £15,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and the opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The full evaluation basis is set out in the Request for Quotation.

This opportunity suits suppliers with experience supplying forestry machinery, excavator attachments or comparable heavy plant equipment. Businesses should be able to identify and supply an excavator-mounted forestry mulcher that meets the buyer’s technical specification, provide a clear commercial quotation, and support delivery in the United Kingdom. Relevant capability may include understanding attachment compatibility, forestry and vegetation-management applications, equipment quality and safe operational use. Specialist manufacturers, machinery dealers, plant-equipment suppliers and smaller engineering or agricultural machinery businesses may be well placed to compete, provided they can meet the requirements in the Request for Quotation. The procurement is a single-equipment supply rather than a multi-service programme, so suppliers focused on relevant machinery provision and fulfilment are the most likely fit.
