Summary of the contracting process

Surrey Heath Borough Council commissioned civil engineering consultancy services for St Catherine’s Wood, Frimley, Surrey. The work supports construction of a new Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace. It covers drainage design, construction design plans and the removal of planning notice conditions. The requirement combines civil, structural and environmental engineering consultancy, including preparation of the technical plans needed to support the greenspace development and satisfy planning requirements. Delivery is in Frimley, within Surrey Heath. This is a public-sector services requirement rather than a construction contract for the physical works themselves. The buyer is Surrey Heath Borough Council, based in Camberley, and the requirement was structured as a single lot suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. Bids were due by 3 July 2026 at 12:00, with enquiries closing on 22 June 2026 at 12:00. The award was made to Flood & Civil Ltd on 11 September 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The awarded and contracted value is £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 21 September to 18 December 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 60% and quality at 40%. Flood & Civil Ltd is the selected supplier. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s e-sourcing platform, and the procurement was below the relevant threshold.

This award shows demand from Surrey Heath Borough Council for integrated engineering consultancy supporting planning-led greenspace development. A credible future competitor would need to combine drainage design with civil and structural engineering input, environmental engineering knowledge and the ability to produce construction design plans. Experience of preparing technical evidence that helps remove planning notice conditions would be directly relevant, as would an understanding of the requirements for Suitable Alternative Natural Greenspace projects. The requirement was explicitly suitable for SMEs, indicating that a specialist consultancy or focused engineering business could compete without being a major national contractor. Strong quality evidence would matter alongside price, since quality accounted for 40% of evaluation. Businesses with coordinated multidisciplinary capability and planning-environment interface experience would be well placed.
