Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk County Council commissioned specialist consultancy for the future of the Foxhall II closed landfill site. The work covers legal, commercial and technical advice, alongside energy-efficiency consultancy services. Delivery is in Suffolk, England. The requirement is focused on the future of this specific closed landfill site rather than general consultancy or energy-efficiency work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Suffolk County Council awarded the work directly to Lumify Energy Limited, without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award covers one lot. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026 and runs from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2027. Its gross contract value is £62,000, including an allowance for optional additional services and third-party costs; the initial contract cost at commencement was £54,824 including VAT. The supplier has the option of receiving further services or necessary third-party costs. The published award information does not state a separate evaluation basis.

For suppliers monitoring future work from Suffolk County Council, this award signals demand for joined-up legal, commercial and technical advice on the future of a closed landfill site, including energy-efficiency consultancy. A credible competitor would need to bring relevant landfill-site expertise and the ability to advise across these disciplines, rather than offer energy advice alone. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that a small business was able to deliver this requirement. The direct, below-threshold route used here is also relevant to suppliers tracking how the council has sourced this specialist consultancy. The contract included provision for additional services and third-party costs, so suppliers would need the flexibility to support associated requirements as well as core advisory work.
