Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by North Kesteven District Council involves the consultancy for a "Green Infrastructure Strategy" under the services category, with Lincolnshire County Council providing procurement advice and support. Situated in Sleaford, the council operates within the UKF30 region of the United Kingdom. This procurement has reached its award stage, and the contract, awarded to The Environment Partnership (TEP) Ltd, commenced on 20th July 2026, lasting until 19th July 2027. Operating under a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature, the contract is valued at £48,740 excluding VAT and focuses on environmental engineering consultancy services as per CPV classification 71313000. This strategic initiative is aligned with the legislative framework outlined in UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in environmental consultancy services, particularly those with a focus on infrastructure strategy. The limited competition approach implies that the selection was targeted, allowing businesses with specific expertise in green infrastructure to leverage their niche capabilities. Enterprises operating within or near the specified UKF3 location stand to benefit from engaging in this project, which not only offers business growth but also enhances credentials in sustainable development practices. The engagement with local authorities like Lincolnshire County Council further provides a platform for expanding business networks and community outreach in the public sector.
