Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of environmental data services through a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the Somerset Environmental Records Centre. The contract, identified as C1001269, was awarded to the Somerset Wildlife Trust. This procurement was carried out using a direct method below the competition threshold, aimed at non-competitive tendering, and is classified under environmental services, specifically sewage, refuse, cleaning, and environmental services. Situated in Taunton, the contract covers the UKK23 region in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the 'award' stage, with the contract period running from 6th April 2026 to 6th April 2027, encompassing a total value of £88,233 GBP gross.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental data services, particularly those that meet specific local knowledge and expertise requirements. The contract involves collecting and managing environmental records, ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like the Somerset Wildlife Trust, which have a strong regional presence and expertise in ecological and environmental sectors. Engaging in such contracts can enhance the company’s portfolio, leverage its regional knowledge, and potentially open avenues for further collaborations with public sector organisations like Somerset Council.
