Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton is seeking a professional delivery team to design and run a community engagement and consultation programme for people and organisations that live, work and study in the borough. The work covers engagement with key stakeholders, helping residents and partners understand the wider benefits of climate action and feel able to act. It is intended to extend climate action beyond what the council can deliver directly, using place-shaping, regeneration and civic leadership to influence local communities and partners. The provider must produce an analysis and engagement summary report identifying gaps and informing the structure and content of Sutton’s new Environment Strategy and Action Plan. This is a research consultancy and environmental services opportunity, delivered in Sutton, London.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 4 August 2026 at 12:00, and tender responses were due by 12 August 2026 at 12:00. Responses were to be uploaded electronically through the council’s e-procurement system. The single contract is planned to run from 7 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. Its estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. Bids are evaluated on quality and price: quality carries 70%, comprising proposals and methodology 45%, experience through case studies 20%, organisation and workforce 20%, climate action approach 5%, and social value 10%; price carries 30%.

This opportunity suits consultancies and delivery teams combining community engagement, stakeholder consultation, research and environmental or climate-action expertise. Strong bidders will be able to design and execute engagement programmes, work with residents and organisations across a borough, analyse consultation findings and turn evidence into practical recommendations for an environment strategy and action plan. Relevant experience should be demonstrated through case studies, alongside a credible organisation and workforce capable of delivering the programme. The requirement also favours teams able to explain how their approach will increase understanding of climate-action co-benefits and influence partners beyond the council’s direct activity. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
