Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has awarded a contract related to risk or hazard assessment for construction under the title "NEA - CDF - Greatham North East - Form C (STA Natural England)." This procurement falls under the services category and pertains to the environmental protection industry, specifically focusing on the Greatham North East project. The procurement method used was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, primarily due to no suitable tenders being received in response to restricted procedure and the repetition of existing services. The contract, valued at £270,639.60, was signed on 13th November 2024, and the primary supplier is Natural England, based in Worcester, UK.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental risk assessment and consulting, particularly those experienced in providing services under district level licensing schemes. Given the project's focus on compensating for habitat loss and adhering to Biodiversity Net Gain rules, companies with expertise in ecological surveys, habitat compensation, and legal compliance consulting are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Additionally, firms proficient in navigating complex regulatory frameworks and delivering environmental services could benefit from further procurements in this domain, driving business growth through repeat engagements and expanded service offerings.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The value of the District Level License totals to PS270,639.60.
