UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wealden District Council bought a subscription to biodiversity net gain (BNG) management software. The requirement covers software for managing BNG compliance and related information systems, including a compliance software package. The service supports the council’s biodiversity net gain management activities rather than physical works or environmental construction. The buyer is Wealden District Council, based in Hailsham, East Sussex. Delivery is in East Sussex. This is a software and information-systems opportunity for providers of BNG, biodiversity, environmental compliance or related public-sector management platforms. The selected supplier, Verna Earth Solutions Ltd, is a small enterprise based in Borehamwood. The procurement comprised one requirement covering the software subscription.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Wealden District Council used a direct procurement below the relevant threshold and without competition. Verna Earth Solutions Ltd was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 23 March 2026 and runs from 8 May 2026 to 7 May 2029. Its value is £31,380 excluding VAT, or £37,656 including VAT. The award covered the full requirement as a single lot. The published outcome identifies an active contract and an active award, so the buying decision has already been made. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender; the stated route was a below-threshold direct award without competition.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Wealden District Council for a specialist subscription supporting biodiversity net gain management. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need a credible BNG or biodiversity management platform, with functions that help a council manage compliance information and environmental records. Experience supplying software to public authorities would strengthen a competitor’s position, particularly where the service must support council processes rather than a standalone private-sector user. A small-enterprise supplier was selected, showing that delivery does not necessarily require a large corporate provider. Relevant businesses include environmental software companies, compliance-platform providers and information-systems specialists with focused BNG capability.
