Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council commissioned services for the Scalby Beck Nature-based Solutions project in North Yorkshire. The work covers the design and delivery of a sustainable, low-impact intervention using natural processes to improve slope stability, enhance biodiversity and increase climate resilience. The scope includes vegetative slope reinforcement, sediment capture, drainage improvements and targeted biodiversity enhancements, together with site preparation, design of the nature-based solution features and associated environmental improvements. The requirement is classified as environmental planning. It is relevant to environmental consultancies, civil and ecological engineering firms, landscape and catchment management specialists, and contractors able to combine design with practical environmental works on site. The project specification governs the required outputs and methods.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. North Yorkshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Jacobs was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 10 June 2026. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £64,236 excluding VAT, or £77,083.20 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition against the project specification; the published data does not set out separate evaluation weightings. This outcome identifies Jacobs as the selected supplier for the full Scalby Beck Nature-based Solutions requirement, rather than a split award across multiple suppliers or lots.

This award demonstrates demand from North Yorkshire Council for integrated nature-based solutions that address slope stability, biodiversity and climate resilience in one project. A credible future competitor would need to design interventions that work with natural processes while translating them into deliverable site works, including vegetative reinforcement, sediment capture and drainage improvements. Relevant capability spans environmental planning, ecological enhancement, catchment or slope management, low-impact construction and preparation of practical designs to an agreed specification. Firms combining environmental design with site delivery may be better placed than providers offering consultancy or construction alone. Jacobs’ selection also indicates that a large multidisciplinary supplier can satisfy this requirement, while smaller specialists could position themselves through a clearly defined environmental or engineering role within a capable delivery team.
