UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Office for Environmental Protection commissioned environmental management services to synthesise evidence from selected overseas jurisdictions on plans for managing pathways by which invasive species are introduced and spread. The work supports the organisation’s scrutiny of domestic pathway action plans in Great Britain and its statutory assessment of progress against Environmental Improvement Plans and targets. The requirement covers review of how overseas pathway plans are designed and implemented, with findings intended to inform policy scrutiny rather than routine operational delivery. The buyer is the Office for Environmental Protection, based in Worcester. Delivery covers the United Kingdom, with the work focused substantively on evidence relevant to Great Britain. This is a research, analysis and environmental policy advisory requirement for organisations with relevant invasive-species and pathway-management expertise.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. The contract was awarded to Cambridge Environmental Consulting Limited, and the award is active. The award date and contract signature date were 8 July 2026. The contract runs from 8 July 2026 to 30 November 2026. Its gross value is £49,560. The procurement used a limited procedure, with competition restricted below the applicable threshold. The selected supplier is responsible for the environmental management service covering synthesis of overseas plans for invasive-species introduction and spread pathways. The outcome is a single-supplier award rather than a framework or multi-supplier arrangement. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the procurement focused on the stated research and scrutiny objectives.

This requirement is commercially relevant to environmental consultancies, ecological research organisations and policy advisers that can assess invasive-species pathways and turn international evidence into practical analysis for a public authority. A credible future competitor would need experience reviewing the design and implementation of pathway action plans across jurisdictions, understanding how invasive species are introduced and spread, and producing clear evidence-based findings for policy scrutiny. Familiarity with Great Britain’s environmental governance context, Environmental Improvement Plans and environmental targets would help demonstrate relevance. The work also suits suppliers able to combine desk research, comparative analysis and concise reporting for a statutory oversight body. Cambridge Environmental Consulting Limited’s selection shows demand for specialist environmental management capability applied to overseas evidence and domestic pathway planning, rather than general environmental services alone.
