Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement was for environmental engineering consultancy to prepare a Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and, where required, a Level 2 assessment. The work supports the preparation, review and implementation of Local Plans for North Yorkshire Council, City of York Council, North York Moors National Park Authority and Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. It also informs the Spatial Development Strategy for the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority. The assessments must comply with the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance, and will support strategic planning decisions across Yorkshire and the Humber. North Yorkshire Council was the buying organisation. The requirement is a professional flood-risk, environmental planning and development consultancy service rather than construction or flood-defence works.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a restricted procedure, using a selective procurement method. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 18 September 2026 to Jeremy Benn Associates Limited for £50,000. The awarded contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 October 2029. The underlying tender record shows a contract period of 6 to 7 August 2026. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published information identifies the assessment’s required compliance with the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance as a central delivery requirement. No lots or separate awards are recorded.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from North Yorkshire Council and its partner planning authorities for specialist flood-risk evidence to support local and sub-regional plan making. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable expertise in strategic flood-risk assessment, including the ability to deliver Level 1 assessments and undertake Level 2 work where required. It would also need to interpret flood risk in the context of the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Practice Guidance, and apply that analysis to Local Plans and a Spatial Development Strategy. The multi-authority scope favours established environmental engineering or planning consultancies with sufficient technical capacity, experienced flood-risk and planning professionals, and the ability to coordinate consistent outputs across several public-sector bodies and protected national park settings.
