UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth Water Limited, based in Havant, is finalising the procurement process for an 'Ecology Surveys Framework' concerning ecological services within Portsmouth, Hampshire, and West Sussex. The procurement, which follows a selective competitive procedure under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, encompasses three distinct ecological service lots: Terrestrial Ecology, Aquatic Ecology, and Arboriculture. The procurement, currently in the award stage, includes upcoming contract signings scheduled for 24th February 2026, following a standstill period ending on 23rd February 2026. The contracts will commence on 1st April 2026 and continue until 2034, offering significant service delivery across specified UK regions.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in ecological and environmental services, notably within agriculture, forestry, horticulture, and wildlife preservation sectors. SMEs such as Ecological Survey & Assessment Limited and Middlemarch Environmental Ltd, alongside larger entities like Tetra Tech Limited, have been involved, demonstrating prospects for both niche firms and larger organisations. With substantial tender values for each lot—Terrestrial Ecology at approximately £1 million and Aquatic Ecology at over £600,000—the framework can provide significant business growth, especially for firms engaged in comprehensive ecological assessments, habitat mapping, and conservation efforts. The opportunity is particularly beneficial for businesses located within or seeking to expand their footprint in the UK's southern regions.
