Summary of the contracting process

Copeland Borough Council is currently in the award stage of the public procurement process for the "Ecology Services Support" contract, valued at £5,000 to support the design and delivery of the 'Iron Line' project in Millom, Cumbria. The tender period ended on 14 April 2021, and the contract is set to commence on 29 April 2021, continuing for a potential duration of up to five years, contingent upon external funding. The procurement process has been conducted using an open procedure, inviting various suppliers to participate in the opportunity related to research consultancy services and environmental issues consultancy services.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in ecological consultancy, environmental management, and related services to expand their market presence. Businesses that have experience with projects funded by public authorities, particularly in the context of environmental sustainability, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. As the duration may extend beyond the initial phase, successful bidders could benefit from long-term partnerships with Copeland Borough Council, bolstering their capacity and experience in delivering similar projects in the future.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Ecology Services Support

Notice Description

Copeland Borough Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified Ecologist to support the design and delivery of the 'Iron Line' project, to develop a nature inspired route in Millom, Cumbria. This Project is a key scheme within Millom's Town Investment Plan. Further details are provided in the Invitation to Tender documents which will become available for download, upon registering an interest in this opportunity via The Chest Procurement Portal. All correspondence, clarifications and submissions must be made via The Chest. For support to use the Chest please contact Proactis Help Centre: https://supplierhelp.due-north.com/ Additional information: The value of the initial contract for phase 1 is well below the TED advertising threshold for Local Authorities. However, it is expected that a continuation of the contract beyond initial Phase 1 will be awarded (upto a combined total contract period of 5 years), subject to receipt of external funding. This requirement is currently unable to be estimated but it is expected that the full 5 year costs will exceed the TED threshold for Local Authorities at PS25k.
