UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cumberland Council commissioned a Land Assessment Project funded through Local Investment in Natural Capital (LINC). The service will assess how council-owned assets could support nature recovery and create an investable proposition for nature markets and green finance. The work is classed as geological consultancy services and is delivered in Cumbria. Cumberland Council is the buying organisation, based in Carlisle. The procurement covers one service requirement, awarded to Cumbria Wildlife Trust Limited, a large organisation based in Kendal. The project is relevant to suppliers working in land assessment, geological or environmental consultancy, natural capital, habitat and nature recovery planning, and the development of nature-market or green-finance propositions for public-sector landholdings.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, and comprised one lot. Cumbria Wildlife Trust Limited received the award, which is active. The contract was signed on 11 May 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £99,730 excluding VAT, or £119,676 including VAT. The contract is active and below the applicable threshold. The published outcome identifies geological consultancy services as the awarded requirement. The award is linked to the single lot, covering the land assessment work for Cumberland Council’s LINC-funded project.

This requirement indicates demand for suppliers able to turn public land and asset information into practical nature-recovery and investment opportunities. Credible competitors would need capability in land assessment and geological consultancy, together with an understanding of habitats, natural-capital accounting, nature markets and green finance. Experience of assessing council-owned or other public-sector assets would be directly relevant, particularly where technical findings must be developed into an investable solution rather than a standalone survey. Suppliers should also be able to connect site evidence with nature-recovery outcomes and market requirements, and present findings clearly to a local authority. Environmental consultancies, wildlife and conservation organisations, and specialist land or natural-capital advisers with this combined expertise would be well placed for comparable requirements.
