Summary of the contracting process

Ebbsfleet Development Corporation commissioned a draw-down ecology services contract to support its sustainability and placemaking work. The requirement covers access to a qualified ecology provider for ecological assessments, biodiversity planning, habitat management and public engagement activities. Services are flexible and provided on demand as required by the Corporation. The work relates to the Corporation’s development programme in Ebbsfleet and the surrounding area of South East England. This is a public-sector services opportunity for environmental consultancies, ecological practices and specialist providers able to supply professional advice and practical support across ecological planning, biodiversity and habitat management. The buyer is Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, a sub-central public authority, and the requirement was structured as a single completed lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to C S A Landscape Limited on 12 June 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with three bids received, including three from SMEs. The award value was £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with an option to extend by a further 12 months, subject to continuing need and satisfactory performance; the maximum extension date is 31 July 2029. The contract is active. Evaluation was for environmental services, classified under CPV 90700000, and the selected supplier is C S A Landscape Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from Ebbsfleet Development Corporation for an external ecology partner able to provide flexible, on-demand support rather than a single fixed project. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work should be able to deliver ecological assessments, biodiversity planning, habitat management and public engagement as an integrated service. Credible competitors would need qualified ecology expertise, practical experience supporting development and placemaking programmes, and the capacity to respond to changing requirements across a multi-year service arrangement. The procurement attracted three bids, all from SMEs, indicating that the requirement can be addressed by smaller specialist consultancies as well as larger environmental businesses. Experience of working with public-sector clients and translating ecological advice into sustainable development activity would strengthen a future proposition.
