Natural England, in short
Who does Natural England award contracts to?
Across 1,035 contracts recorded since 2021, Natural England has used 538 different suppliers. The most frequent are RSK-ADAS Limited (40 contracts), AECOM Limited (26 contracts), PROMAR INTERNATIONAL Ltd (23 contracts).
What does Natural England buy?
Its most active procurement categories are research and development, environmental and waste services, construction works. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Natural England contracts come up for renewal?
118 contracts awarded by Natural England have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 11 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Natural England spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £25k, across the 1,029 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Natural England tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Natural England notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 8 November 2025 to 7 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards fell, then stayed broadly level in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 7 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 322, 231 and 259. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Most of its current contracts end in the next 12 months: 114 of its 122 contracts with an end date still to come end by 7 November 2027. Shown when that is more than half, with at least 5.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2022: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2022 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 103 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 8 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Has published 2 AI transparency records: Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard records on GOV.UK, listed further down this page.
- Most recent award: recorded 3 Nov 2026 (4 days ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 1,029 of 1,035 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
