The process, valued at £100,000, was conducted using an open procurement method and has now reached the award stage. The contract with HaskoningDHV UK Ltd commenced on 17th March 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st December 2025, following an award date of 10th March 2025. With strategic support involving advice on septic tank replacements, planning reviews, and nature-based solutions, this initiative aims to enhance Cornwall's environmental management efforts.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for environmental consultancies and businesses skilled in strategic environmental services, especially those proficient in nutrient mitigation and nature-based solutions. Companies with expertise in stakeholder engagement, environmental assessments, and project management would find this project particularly conducive to demonstrating their capabilities, potentially leading to further collaborative opportunities with government bodies. This project is also well-suited for SMEs, despite HaskoningDHV UK Ltd, a large-scale company, securing the contract, indicating possibilities for sub-contracting or collaborative frameworks beneficial for smaller entities.
