## Summary

The University of Reading has recently completed the awarding process for a contract titled "TVSP - Ecologist," categorised under environmental engineering consultancy services. The tender was initiated as part of ongoing feasibility studies related to potential developments south of the M4. The contract, valued at £200,000, started on 28 March 2022 and will run until 28 March 2024. This procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 25 February 2022.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy and related fields. Firms with robust capabilities in providing flexible support across various scales—from small standalone studies to comprehensive planning input—will find themselves well-positioned. Given the nature of the work involving local planning promotions and outline planning consents, both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate agility and expertise in environmental engineering are particularly encouraged to compete for similar future opportunities.

## Notice

As part of the University's on-going feasibility studies into potential development opportunities South of the M4, specialist input is now needed to assist the Commercial, Strategic Estates and Programme Management Teams in reviewing and developing those opportunities as they arise. This is likely to be a flexible role on a call off basis as part of a Core Team of key consultants under the Programme Management Office. Its aim being to rapidly mobilise support consultants as studies / workstreams arise. Works will vary from small standalone studies ending between RIBA Stage 0 and 2, to more detailed input needed to deliver simple site works, to larger commissions such as input into Local Plan Promotions and securing of Outline Planning consents. The chosen consultant will be expected to be able to service all commissions, regardless of scale, in a timely manner.
