NE has published 88 notices across all categories, and 53% of its awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
This PIN relates to a Request For Information (RFI) which Natural England are undertaking in advance of any future procurement exercise for the Cattle Handling Solution at Parsonage Down National Nature Reserve.

The build must be complete by Mid October 2025.
