UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council commissioned a landscape sensitivity study assessing how sensitive the district’s landscapes are to wind energy and solar energy developments. The study updates and builds on the council’s 2014 Landscape Capacity Study for Wind Energy Development, providing a robust assessment to inform consideration of renewable energy proposals. The work is an environmental consultancy service, delivered in Newark and Sherwood, Nottinghamshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Land Use Consultants Limited. The contract was signed on 29 October 2025 and runs from 29 October 2025 to 28 April 2026. Its value is £43,365 excluding VAT (£52,038 including VAT). The award record gives the supplier and the service category; it does not state an evaluation basis or selection criteria.

For future landscape sensitivity work for Newark and Sherwood District Council, credible suppliers will need to demonstrate environmental planning and landscape assessment expertise, particularly in evaluating potential effects of wind and solar energy development. Experience updating an existing landscape capacity study and producing robust, reliable evidence for planning decisions would be directly relevant. The award demonstrates a focused consultancy requirement delivered through limited competition, rather than a large multi-lot programme. Suppliers should be equipped to undertake district-scale landscape analysis and communicate findings in a form that supports assessment of renewable energy proposals.
