Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council, acting for the West Wales Nutrient Management Board, commissioned specialist geographic information systems (GIS) consultancy for the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries Natural Capital Benefit Profile and Project Register. The work centres on developing a natural capital benefit profile and project register for the bay and estuaries. It falls within environmental consultancy, with related surveying, marine survey, geology, oceanography and hydrology expertise. The delivery location is Carmarthenshire, Wales. The requirement is a bespoke consultancy service rather than a general environmental services contract, so relevant suppliers are those able to combine specialist GIS capability with environmental and coastal or estuarine knowledge.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Carmarthenshire County Council awarded the single lot to Environment Systems Ltd through a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 19 February 2027. Its value is £54,166 excluding VAT and £65,000 including VAT. The award records the supplier and identifies the work as consultancy and surveying services. No evaluation criteria are stated for this direct award.

For suppliers tracking future requirements from Carmarthenshire County Council and the West Wales Nutrient Management Board, this award demonstrates demand for a tailored GIS consultancy to support natural capital planning in a coastal and estuarine setting. A credible competitor would need to deliver specialist spatial analysis and translate environmental evidence into a usable benefit profile and project register. Experience relevant to marine, geological, oceanographic, hydrological or surveying work would align with the technical scope. The appointment went directly to a specialist supplier without competition, so the award does not demonstrate an evaluated competitive threshold or selection criteria. This is a focused consultancy requirement, best suited to providers able to bring the relevant expertise together for a defined project rather than suppliers offering unrelated or broad environmental services.
