UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Peterborough City Council has completed a procurement process for a project titled "Biodiversity Audit - Peterborough," which falls under the environmental services industry category. The procurement aimed to hire an external consultant for performing ecological audits on council-owned green spaces in Peterborough, UK. The process, which has now reached the contract award stage, involved a limited competition method due to its below-threshold status. Key dates in the timeline included a funding award on 31st March 2025, with the consultant needed by 30th June 2025. The contract period runs from 1st August 2025 to 31st December 2025, with Ethos Environmental Planning Ltd being the awarded supplier. The location for the delivery is within the UKH11 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in environmental planning and consultancy, particularly those with a focus on ecological audits and biodiversity improvement projects. Companies capable of providing comprehensive management plans and actionable suggestions for biodiversity enhancement would find this project ideal. Given the project's emphasis on value delivery within a budget capped at £60,000, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in environmental services stand to gain significantly by taking part in such tenders, potentially expanding their footprint in the public sector while contributing to sustainable environmental practices.
