UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured environmental and sustainability assessment services from EcoVadis. The work assesses the environmental, social and economic impacts of a project, policy or development against sustainable development principles. Its scope includes reviewing energy consumption, carbon emissions, waste, water use, biodiversity and pollution risks; assessing climate-change mitigation, resource efficiency and sustainability objectives; gathering baseline data; identifying impacts and risks; and proposing mitigation measures. The assessment considers the full life cycle from design and construction through operation to decommissioning. It also covers sustainable practices such as renewable energy, recycling and responsible procurement, with stakeholder engagement forming part of the approach. Delivery is associated with Doncaster, and the service is classified as environmental impact assessment for construction (CPV 71313400).

This procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold opportunity. EcoVadis was selected on 13 July 2026 for £45,000 excluding VAT (£54,000 including VAT). The contract period runs from 14 August 2026 to 24 July 2027. It covers one requirement rather than multiple separately awarded lots. The procurement uses the direct method and is recorded as a services contract. The requirement is for an assessment that supports responsible development, environmental compliance, risk reduction and long-term sustainability outcomes. The award is active, and a contract signature was scheduled for 13 August 2026. City of Doncaster Council is the buying organisation and EcoVadis is the awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from City of Doncaster Council for structured environmental and sustainability assessment linked to construction and development. Suppliers likely to compete for a future requirement of this kind would need a credible capability in environmental impact assessment, sustainability analysis and whole-life project review. Relevant expertise includes carbon and energy assessment, waste and water management, biodiversity, pollution risk, climate mitigation, resource efficiency and environmental legislation. They would also need to turn baseline evidence into practical mitigation measures and explain how recommendations support local, national and global sustainability objectives. Experience of stakeholder engagement and of balancing environmental, social and economic impacts would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement suits a specialist assessment consultancy or established sustainability-services provider able to deliver an integrated, evidence-based service.

Notice Description

DSA- environmental and sustainability assessment - An Environmental and Sustainability Assessment evaluates the potential environmental, social, and economic impacts of a project, policy, or development to ensure it supports sustainable development principles. The assessment identifies key environmental issues such as energy consumption, carbon emissions, waste generation, water usage, biodiversity impacts, and pollution risks. It also examines how the project aligns with local, national, and global sustainability objectives, including climate change mitigation and resource efficiency. The assessment process involves collecting baseline environmental data, identifying potential impacts, evaluating risks, and proposing mitigation measures to reduce negative effects. Consideration is given to the project's whole life cycle, from design and construction through operation and eventual decommissioning. Sustainable practices such as renewable energy use, waste reduction, recycling, sustainable procurement, and efficient resource management are encouraged. Stakeholder engagement is an important component, ensuring that community concerns and environmental interests are considered in decision-making. The assessment helps organisations comply with environmental legislation and supports responsible development by balancing environmental protection with economic and social benefits. Overall, an Environmental and Sustainability Assessment provides a structured framework for identifying opportunities to improve sustainability performance, minimise environmental harm, and create long-term value for communities, businesses, and future generations while promoting resilience and sustainable growth.
