UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of ecological consulting services, titled "SCC - KS - RFQ - Ecology Consultant." The contracting opportunity was aimed at the public authority and sub-central government sector, specifically classed under environmental services (CPV: 90700000). The procurement sought an experienced Ecology Consultant with qualifications at the Principal Ecologist grade level to support the Council's Natural Environment Team based in Reigate, UK. The tender process concluded with the award being granted to Tetra Tech Limited on 26th November 2025, with a contract period commencing on 1st October 2025 and initially set to end on 1st October 2026, with an option for renewal to cover specific needs such as maternity leave.

This contract provides substantial business growth potential for firms specialising in environmental and ecological services. It highlights opportunities for ecological consultancies, particularly those with expertise in advisory roles for local government environmental initiatives. Companies able to demonstrate competence in managing complex ecological challenges and those recognised by the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) would find this award process to be highly relevant. Moreover, as the contract includes provision for potential senior ecological advisory services, it offers smaller ecological service providers the chance to leverage specialist skill sets in response to arising needs, thereby solidifying their position and reputation within the UK's public sector ecosystem management sector.
