Summary of the contracting process

Trydan Gwyrdd Cymru, a sub-central government public authority in Wales, has completed its procurement process titled "Trydan Environmental Baseline Framework Tender Award Notice". The primary focus of this tender was to procure professional services for large-scale wind farm developments, specifically involving baseline ornithological and habitat surveys across Wales. The procurement process has gone through various stages, including planning, tendering, and awarding, and was concluded with contracts scheduled to start on 22nd July 2026, ending on 21st July 2030. The process used an open procurement method, with two lots being awarded with framework agreements. Key suppliers participating in the lots are BSG ECOLOGY LTD, JACOBS U.K. LIMITED, LAND USE CONSULTANTS LIMITED, ATMOS CONSULTING LIMITED, and RSK ADAS LIMITED. The total contract value for the two lots amounted to £2,100,000 gross.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental services, particularly those offering energy-efficiency consultancy, ornithological and habitat survey services. The framework agreement model allows for multiple suppliers per lot, enabling small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to bid alongside larger companies, fostering diverse business participation. Companies with capabilities in conducting energy management and consulting services would find it advantageous to engage in such contracts. Additionally, the open procurement process and the framework agreements offer repetitive business opportunities through call-off contracts, potentially aiding companies in establishing a sustained presence in the renewable energy sector in the United Kingdom.
