UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rotherham Borough Council procured offsite biodiversity gain units: medium-distinctiveness mixed scrub units to meet statutory planning requirements. The purchase is categorised as agricultural and horticultural products. Delivery is in Rotherham, for the council’s requirements. This is a supply contract for biodiversity units rather than an on-site habitat creation project, and its defined scope is limited to the specified type and distinctiveness of scrub units.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Rotherham Borough Council selected New Leaf Habitats Limited for the single lot. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August to 2 December 2026. Its gross value is £62,044.80. The procurement was described as below threshold; the recorded procedure detail does not identify a specific route. The stated requirement is supply of the specified biodiversity gain units, with no further evaluation basis recorded.

This award shows demand from Rotherham Borough Council for offsite biodiversity gain units that satisfy statutory planning requirements, specifically medium-distinctiveness mixed scrub units. A credible competitor would need access to suitable units and the ability to demonstrate that they meet the required distinctiveness and planning requirements, as well as capacity to supply them for the council’s needs. The selected supplier, New Leaf Habitats Limited, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist supplier was able to fulfil this requirement. The opportunity is relevant to habitat providers and biodiversity-unit suppliers whose products meet this specific specification; unrelated environmental services would not, on their own, match the requirement.
