Summary of the contracting process

Homes England, also known as the Homes and Communities Agency, has completed the procurement process for conducting Wintering Birds surveys at Cheshire House Farm in Farington, South Ribble, Lancashire. The contract, valued at £12,400, falls under the industry category of architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The tender process is concluded at the award stage, with the contract awarded to OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED, effective from 7th September 2025 to 30th April 2026.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses in environmental consulting, specifically those focusing on avian surveys and ecological services. Such projects could appeal to SMEs capable of delivering specialised engineering and environmental services. While Arup, a large-scale company, secured this contract, the suitability for SMEs in such categories highlights potential growth opportunities for smaller firms as Homes England supports SME participation in public procurement. This environment invites competitive involvement from entities that can demonstrate innovative and specialised services to meet specific public sector needs.
