Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent procured habitat and biodiversity surveying services for its sites in the Gwent area. The requirement was to conduct a Phase 1 Habitat Survey across all sites and produce a full Biodiversity Section 6 Duty report. This is an environmental consultancy and ecological assessment service, with the procurement classification also covering horticultural services. The work combines site-based habitat surveying with reporting on biodiversity duties, so it is relevant to ecological consultancies, environmental advisers and organisations with experience assessing habitats and preparing statutory biodiversity reports for public-sector landowners. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing and crime matters in Gwent, and the awarded requirement covered one lot.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to MITIE LANDSCAPES LIMITED. The award was dated 21 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 21 October 2026. Its value is £56,994.30 excluding VAT, or £68,393.16 including VAT. The selected supplier is responsible for the Habitat Biodiversity Survey and Report requirement. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The available outcome records identify the successful supplier and contract terms, but do not set out an award-scoring breakdown or separate lot values.

This award provides a clear indication that the Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent purchases combined habitat survey and biodiversity reporting support for its estate. Competitors seeking to be credible when this requirement returns will need practical capability in Phase 1 Habitat Surveys, competent ecological fieldwork across multiple sites, and the ability to turn survey findings into a complete Biodiversity Section 6 Duty report. They should also be able to manage a short, defined public-sector assignment from site assessment through to clear written outputs. The successful supplier’s profile shows that a large environmental or estates-services business can meet the requirement, while specialist ecological consultancies may also be relevant if they can demonstrate equivalent surveying, reporting and delivery capacity.
