To meet the Net Zero 2030 ambition, NRW aims to reduce its surface transport related GHG emissions by transitioning existing fleet of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to battery operated electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025. To realise this ambition NRW requires a fit for purpose and future proofed EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) that will support the following: · transition of the badged ICE fleet to EVs · support NRW's own staff, general public and other public bodies with transitioning from ICE to EVs This project will have 2 phases. The outcomes of the first phase are: • To carry out in depth assessments and physical site surveys of several sites as prioritised by NRW. The contractor must be prepared to travel across Wales to accommodate this requirement and must include all costs such as overnight stays, accommodation, expenses etc in its overall day rate/total cost. • The development of indicative designs and a technical specification for EVCI that will allow NRW to tender for the installation, operation and maintenance of EVCI (the 2nd phase of the project). This specification and tender are for phase 1 only. A separate tender and contract will be issued for phase 2 using the technical specification developed in phase 1. This competition is being run under CCS framework RM6213 Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Solutions (VCIS).

Maintenance and Technical Support and external hosting of the CMSi software package used by NRW for planning and recording of all work on the National Nature Reserves that we own/manage. The CMSi software is used by NRW to properly plan and record all of the work that we undertake on the National Nature Reserves (NNRs) which we own/manage. It is essential software for prioritising necessary budgets and other resources. The NNRs are protected sites of high public interest so poor delivery of essential management would be a reputational risk to NRW. CMSi is essential for ensuring we properly prioritise the allocation of a limited resource to maximise delivery of our objectives on the ground. G-Cloud-13 offers a compliant route to market.

Mass spectral libraries are required to enhance the accuracy, confidence, and defensibility of chemical identification across NRWAS’s targeted and non-targeted LC-MS/MS workflows. They support statutory duties under the WFD, EQSD, Watch List and incident response by enabling robust identification of pollutants, emerging contaminants, and transformation products. The libraries also improve operational efficiency by reducing analyst time through automated, reliable matching, while vendor-validated reference spectra future-proof analytical capability, minimise lifecycle costs, and ensure results withstand regulatory, scientific, and public scrutiny.These mass spectral libraries are proprietary and exclusively supplied by Bruker, with no alternative source. They are purpose-built to operate within Bruker’s software and instrument platforms, providing the validated compatibility required for accurate spectral matching and dependable analytical performance

Contract award notice for NRW Supplementary Plant Supply Framework 2026-30

Award notice for NRW's Arb & Chainsaw Service framework renewal, covering 4 geographical areas and two separate lot types; arboriculture services and chainsaw service

This notices details the award intentions for lot 1 & 2 of the Acoustic Fish Tag Framework 2025. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) are looking to set up a framework for the purchase of 180kHz and 69kHz acoustic fish tags and receivers. Tagging projects are currently being run on the River Dee, Usk, Tywi and Wye, and may be expanded further.

NRW is responsible for the management of the Welsh Government Woodland Estate and land in our care. NRW is certified by both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) to meet the UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS). This Respacing, cleaning and weeding framework relates to the supply of respacing services, delivering 6 main requirements: 1. Cleaning of naturally regenerated or planted crops 2. Re-spacing of naturally regenerated or planted crops 3. Creation of inspection racks through brashing 4. Mechanical weeding 5. Hand weeding 6. High pruning Due to the nature of the required works it is difficult for NRW to estimate the value of this framework. For the purposes of establishing this framework we estimate spend in a range of 3,700,000 GBP and 4,500,000 GBP. NRW does not guarantee any level of expenditure under this framework. The overall Framework will have a term of 48 months (4 years). It is structured as a 36 month (3 year) initial term with 1 x further 1 year (12 month) extension allowable.

Purchase of a new mulcher head designed for forestry sites. It will be a heavier duty head that will be able to do a more efficient job of clearing scrub on the sites with less down-time due to mechanical issues. It will be used mainly on LIFEquake sites, but will be available to other teams to use. LIFEquake (LIFE20 NAT/UK/000137) is a 5-yr EU funded project, run by NRW, working on 7 SACs in Wales – Crymlyn, Gweunydd Blaencleddau, NW Pembrokeshire Commons, Preseli, Rhos Goch, Cors Caron & Corsydd Eifionydd. Securing the resilience of transition mire & quaking bog in Wales. The aim is to bring internationally important habitats and species of the peatlands into good condition. Currently these rare and threatened wildlife features are in an unfavourable condition and at risk of further decline. Pistenbully machine is a low ground pressure machine capable of accessing the very wet sites in the LIFEquake project. A new mulcher head is required to effectively manage this sites, due to a lot of mechanical issues with the current flail head.
