The works comprise two designated viewing areas, including a slightly elevated lower platform, safety balustrades and handrails set back from the cliff edge, and a stepped landscape design intended to blend with the natural surroundings. This is a construction project with associated design and engineering elements, classified as construction work (CPV 45000000). The buyer describes it as a land management contract in its Mid South region. The delivery location is identified as Wales; the project site is Coed y Rhaiadr forest. Natural Resources Wales is the buying organisation, and the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. Natural Resources Wales invited tenders through an open competition. The procurement reached the tender stage, when the buyer invited offers. The enquiry deadline set by the buyer was 12 November 2026 at 13:00, and the tender submission deadline was 19 November 2026 at 13:00. The contract period is 4 January to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £350,000 excluding VAT (£420,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on a weighted basis: commercial considerations account for 60% and quality for 40%. Electronic submission is allowed, and the procurement includes an electronic auction. This opportunity is suited to construction and landscaping contractors able to deliver visitor infrastructure in a forest and waterfall setting. The work calls for building two viewing areas, including an elevated platform, and installing safety balustrades and handrails positioned away from the cliff edge. Suppliers also need to carry out stepped landscape works that fit the surrounding natural environment. The combined construction, engineering and landscape requirements favour businesses able to coordinate site works, manage visitor safety near a cliff edge and deliver a coherent design across the viewing areas and landscape. The buyer explicitly considers the requirement suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so smaller contractors may find the single-lot opportunity relevant if they can meet the complete scope. ## Notice Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is inviting tenders for a land management contract in the Mid South region.
