UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured ecology consultancy support for district councils and planning applications. The requirement covers environmental planning and environmental protection services, including advice and consultancy associated with applications. Delivery is for the Leicestershire area, serving district councils through the county council’s procurement. The procurement is service-based rather than a supply or construction contract. Two suppliers were selected to provide the requirement: Place Services, based in Chelmsford, and Servtron Green Services, an SME based in Presteigne, Wales. The work is relevant to ecology consultancies, environmental planning practices and environmental protection specialists that advise public authorities on development, planning and related applications. It may also suit firms able to provide specialist support through a multi-supplier arrangement.

The procurement has completed and the awards are active. It was run as a below-threshold procedure, with the method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. Place Services was awarded one contract at £84,000 net (£100,800 gross), signed on 29 July 2026, covering 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Servtron Green Services was awarded a separate contract at £84,000 net (£100,800 gross), signed on 5 July 2026, covering 1 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. Both contracts are below threshold. The recorded service classifications are environmental planning and environmental protection. The award outcome demonstrates that the council used two providers for the same requirement rather than selecting a single supplier.

This procurement shows established public-sector demand for ecology consultancy supporting district councils and planning applications in Leicestershire. A credible competitor for the requirement when it next reaches the market would need practical capability in environmental planning and environmental protection, with staff able to assess, advise on and support applications for local authorities. Experience of working within public-sector planning processes would be relevant, as would the capacity to deliver consultancy alongside another appointed provider. The award of contracts to both a large supplier and an SME indicates that organisations of different sizes can be credible, provided they can demonstrate suitable technical expertise, dependable service delivery and the ability to support the council’s district-level application workload.
