Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has completed a procurement process for a service-level agreement with the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire, subcontracted to the Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre. This engagement, under the industry category of botanical and zoological garden services and nature reserve services, aims to provide biodiversity data provision. The procurement process, which was initiated under a "Below threshold - unknown" method, has progressed to the award stage with an active contract signed on 1st April 2025. The contract, valued at £61,026, is set to run until 31st March 2030, with the initial contract notice published on 22nd July 2025. The procurement was specifically for services and is associated with the region of Northampton, United Kingdom.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for organisations involved in ecological data management and conservation services, particularly those adept in handling geographic information system (GIS) layers and data verification. Larger organisations with voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) practices in similar service domains may significantly benefit from engaging in such opportunities. Furthermore, businesses specialising in environmental and species data management are well-suited to compete for this kind of work, enabling them to expand their service offerings and establish partnerships with local governmental bodies like the West Northamptonshire Council. Such procurements not only support biodiversity initiatives but also promote the growth of businesses with expertise in public sector projects.
