Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process detailed here involves North Northamptonshire Council, located at The Corby Cube in Corby, United Kingdom. The procurement, titled "Wildlife Trust Service," falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and experimental development services. The contract pertains to conducting 15 Local Wildlife Site surveys annually within the North Northamptonshire area. These findings will be recorded and integrated into the Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre's datasets, with GIS layer updates required annually. The procurement was conducted through a limited method, indicating below-threshold and limited competition. The tender has reached the Award stage, as of 7th October 2025, with the contract being active since it was signed on 11th August 2025, and is set to conclude on 30th June 2028.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in environmental consultancy, biodiversity management, and geographic information systems (GIS). Given the nature of the requirement, large organisations with a focus on conservation and ecological services, similar to The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire, who have been awarded this contract, would be well-suited to compete for such opportunities. The focus on local wildlife surveys and data provision encourages businesses that are proficient in environmental research and have the capability to manage and analyse extensive ecological data sets, thereby supporting sustainable development initiatives in the region.
