Land Management Framework Pre-tender Market Engagement

Natural Resources Wales · Public body

In brief

Natural Resources Wales has announced plans to buy grounds maintenance work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £8,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 5 years, starting 1 January 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 8 bids per contract for this buyer (from 19 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £8,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

NRW will shortly be opening up tendering opportunities for supplies interested in working for NRW under the Land Management Site Maintenance Framework.  The Land Management Framework provides NRW Land Management teams across Wales with the resources to manage the general maintenance programme of work predominantly within NRW managed land.  It includes planned and reactive maintenance, repair and installation work at forestry sites, recreational sites, visitor centres, National Nature Reserves, and any other Land in our Care.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
