Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned ecological services to support its statutory duty to improve, preserve and respect biodiversity across its land portfolio. The requirement covers qualified and accurate ecological support for essential and statutory works, carried out safely, efficiently and in line with relevant guidance and the licences held by the council from Natural England. The work is classified as environmental services (CPV 90700000), although the procurement category is recorded as works. Delivery is associated with the council’s land portfolio and includes activity in the United Kingdom and wider listed territories and locations. The appointed service is intended to support the council’s departmental outcomes and its management of biodiversity obligations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to SWT Ecology Services Ltd. Surrey County Council sought quotations for the requirement, with submissions due by 16 July 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 16 September 2026. The tender’s estimated value was £150,000 including the stated currency of GBP; the recorded award value is £0. The awarded contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement was assessed against the supplier’s experience delivering similar ecological services, evidence of successful customer relationships and contribution to departmental outcomes. The award is active and covers the full ecological services requirement rather than separately identified lots.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for dependable ecological support linked to a substantial land portfolio and statutory biodiversity responsibilities. A credible future competitor would need qualified ecological practitioners who can provide accurate advice and practical support for essential and statutory works, while working safely and efficiently within relevant guidance. Familiarity with Natural England licensing requirements would be important, as would the ability to translate ecological expertise into work that supports biodiversity duties and wider council outcomes. Evidence of delivering similar services successfully, maintaining positive customer relationships and working effectively with council departments would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is therefore best suited to established environmental consultancies or specialist ecology providers with demonstrable public-sector or comparable land-management experience.
