Summary of the contracting process

Natural England commissioned environmental planning services for its Nutrient Environmental Development Plan 1. The work concerned the development of a nutrient-related environmental plan, under the environmental planning service category (CPV 90712000). Delivery was required in the East of England. The buying organisation is Natural England, an English public body responsible for the requirement. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist environmental consultancies and other smaller professional services businesses with experience of planning work connected to environmental management and nutrient impacts. The requirement was structured as a service rather than goods or construction works.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 19 May 2026 at 12 noon, and the contract was awarded on 19 May 2026 to Thomson Environmental Consultants Limited. The awarded value was £13,957.50. The contract period ran from 20 May 2026 to 19 June 2026. The published procurement value and awarded value were the same. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME. The award was active, and the signed contract documents indicate that the agreement was concluded for the stated short-term environmental planning assignment.

For competitors, this award demonstrates that Natural England uses framework call-offs to procure focused environmental planning assignments in the East of England. A credible future supplier would need to show practical capability in environmental planning and in developing nutrient-related environmental plans, supported by consultants who can turn environmental evidence and regulatory requirements into a usable plan. The short, defined assignment indicates value in having staff available to mobilise quickly and deliver a discrete technical commission. Smaller specialist consultancies are well placed by the stated suitability of the requirement for SMEs. Experience of working with public-sector environmental bodies, understanding nutrient management issues and producing clear, defensible planning outputs would strengthen a competing proposition.
