UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Downs National Park Authority commissioned services for the National Ecosystem Plan within the PLP Climate Programme 2026–27. The requirement covers natural resources management and conservation strategy planning, supporting ecosystem and climate programme activity rather than construction or the supply of goods. The buying organisation is the South Downs National Park Authority, based in Midhurst. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, with the requirement recorded at national level. This is a single service requirement, awarded as one lot. It is relevant to consultancies, environmental specialists and organisations that develop ecosystem, natural-resource management or conservation strategies for public-sector and protected-landscape clients.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold route. One supplier, ONE PLANET DIGITAL LIMITED, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £65,000 excluding VAT and £78,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies services as the procurement category and natural resources management or conservation strategy planning as the service classification. The contracting authority is South Downs National Park Authority, and the selected supplier is a Brighton-based SME.

This award indicates demand from South Downs National Park Authority for specialist ecosystem planning linked to a climate programme. A credible future competitor would need to provide natural-resource management and conservation strategy planning, and to translate that work into a national ecosystem plan suitable for a public authority. Relevant providers are likely to include environmental consultancies, conservation strategy specialists and climate-programme advisers with the capacity to deliver a focused, time-limited assignment for a protected-landscape organisation. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large contractor. The opportunity is therefore most relevant to firms with directly relevant environmental strategy capability.
