Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council, acting as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process for a project titled "Parks and Countryside Tree Planting Plan and Strategy." This project, under the industry category of business and management consultancy services, was aimed at developing a tree planting plan. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold and without competition, highlighting its specific nature. The process reached the contract award stage with an overall contract start date of 30th July 2025, lasting until 31st March 2026. The procurement involves services with some elements of works, located in Sheffield, United Kingdom, under the legal framework specified by UKPGA 2023/54.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for service-oriented small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in environmental consultancy and urban planning. While the award has already been made to "Treeconomics," based in Exeter, future similar tenders could provide openings for consultants with expertise in sustainable urban development and environmental strategy planning. Engaging in such contracts can provide businesses with a chance to expand their portfolio and showcase their capabilities to public authorities, potentially leading to more opportunities in government projects. Businesses with experience in providing management consultancy services would find themselves well-suited to compete in similar tenders, especially those focusing on sustainability and environmental planning.
