UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited, a central government public authority based in Birmingham, has completed a direct procurement process to award a contract for "Nature Literacy Training" as part of the Lower Thames Crossing Project. The procurement was conducted as a below-threshold, non-competitive process and was initiated to provide Biodiversity Literacy Practitioners Training. The training aims to enhance understanding of biodiversity literacy and Biodiversity Net Gain, focusing on measurement, protection, management, and public engagement, specifically related to project sites. This services contract, valued at £17,555, commenced on July 9, 2026, and is set to run until December 31, 2026, with an option for additional sessions if required.

This contract award presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental training services, particularly those experienced in delivering biodiversity education. The successful supplier, Field Studies Council, a large-scale organisation based in Shrewsbury, demonstrates the potential for growth in securing government contracts for companies proficient in specialist training services. Businesses with similar capabilities in promoting environmental literacy and sustainability can benefit from exploring such government procurement opportunities, as the demand for biodiversity-related expertise is likely to increase in alignment with regulatory and developmental projects.
