## Summary

Lake District National Park Authority commissioned path repair and access improvements on the Coast to Coast route in the high fells of the Lake District. The awarded works concern Anglers Crag and include sourcing and flying suitable stone, defining and improving the approach to the first bedrock section, repairing a revetment wall, and landscaping side routes around the bedrock sections, including removing one route. This is outdoor footpath construction and repair work in a remote upland setting, where materials need to be flown in. The contract is for the Anglers Crag section only; delivery is in the Lake District, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Terra-Firma Environmental Limited. The authority used a direct award without competition, under the below-threshold procedure. The award date was 8 October 2026. The awarded value is £37,677 excluding VAT (£45,213 including VAT). The contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The work was divided into one lot, covering Anglers Crag; the lot was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The award data identifies surface work for footpaths as the classification. The contract was awarded as an active award, and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from the Lake District National Park Authority for targeted repair and access work on upland sections of the Coast to Coast route. A credible supplier for a similar future requirement would need practical footpath construction and repair capability, including stone sourcing and delivery to difficult-to-reach sites, robust revetment repair, and landscape restoration that improves or removes informal side routes. Experience planning work in high-fell terrain and managing the logistics of flying materials would be directly relevant. The single-lot scope and small-business suitability indicate that this scale of requirement can be appropriate for an SME with the right specialist skills and access to the necessary logistics. The authority awarded this work directly without competition, so suppliers should note the route used for this particular purchase.
