The Planning Inspectorate has completed a procurement process for the "Environmental Data Services Report," aimed at enhancing its Environmental Services Team's access to comprehensive environmental planning information. The Buying Organisation, located in Bristol, sought an information service to include tools such as an Environmental Policy Development Tracker, policy updates, news, and expert insights. The process, which was a direct procurement method conducted below the threshold without competition, resulted in a contract awarded to HAYMARKET MEDIA GROUP LTD., based in Twickenham.
