Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of a Green Belt Assessment to support the development of its Local Plan. The contracting process utilised an open procurement method, and the contract has been awarded to LAND USE CONSULTANTS LIMITED, based in London. The procurement was categorised under the 'Environmental Planning' sector. The contract started on 7th October 2025 and is set to conclude by 2nd March 2026, with an option to extend for an additional two weeks. The value of the contract is £87,104 GBP with the services focusing on identifying parts of the Green Belt that may be suitable for various uses. The project is crucial as it aims to reassess open land categorisation in Uxbridge, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental planning and consultancy services. Enterprises adept in land assessment, especially those focusing on sustainable urban development, would be well-placed for similar future engagements. The involvement of a large supplier highlights the scope and scale of the project, suggesting that well-established firms with significant resources may have a competitive advantage in providing the expertise and comprehensive analysis required for such assessments. Furthermore, the procurement's open competition nature points towards continued opportunities for SMEs, particularly those within the environmental consultancy field, encouraging them to innovate and expand their service offerings in line with local government requirements.

Notice Title

Provision of Green Belt Assessment on behalf of the London Borough of Hillingdon

Notice Description

The London Borough of Hillingdon ('the Council') has commenced a review of the Local Plan and is seeking to undertake a Green Belt Assessment to support the development of its Local Plan. The primary purpose of this Green Belt Assessment is to identify which parts of the Green Belt may be suitable for release. This would include identifying both previously developed land within the Green Belt and Grey Belt. Where land is recommended to be defined as previously developed and/or Grey Belt, a subsequent assessment will be required to determine the extent to which (if at all) the site should be re-categorised as Metropolitan Open Land or Local Open Space. If these are not appropriate, then recommendations will be provided on the existing Green Belt boundaries, site capacity and for what uses (if any) any released land would be a sustainable location for.
