Awarded toValueDateStatus
supplier not published—28 Oct 2026CancelledThe Natural England evaluation team has completed its detailed assessment and regrets to inform to you that your response dated 12th October 2026 for the supply of the above has been declined on this occasion. The scope of work has changed. Because there we did not receive a combined bid for the groundworks within the tender, we must get this correct first. This will be subject to a planning application as we had discussed, which will take time to implement. Considering these changes, I will invite you to re-tender via the open tender process later and welcome you to submit your proposals.
