The procurement falls under the services category with the main focus on environmental indicators analysis other than for construction. The project was located in the West Midlands region, United Kingdom, and the contract period started on 24th November 2022 and ended on 10th February 2023. The OEP used an open procedure (below threshold) procurement method for this project, with the tender period ending on 7th November 2022. This tender provided an opportunity for businesses, especially those well-versed in environmental impact assessment and planning services, to compete and potentially grow their business. SMEs with expertise in environmental assessments could find this tender suitable for business growth. The contract awarded to LAND USE CONSULTANTS LIMITED, highlights the potential for growth in supplying environmental consultancy services to public bodies like the OEP seeking to improve and protect the environment through legislative and practical reforms. ## Notice The Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) is a new public body. We protect and improve the environment by holding government and other public bodies to account. The objectives of this work are to: * Enable us to analyse and report on the implementation and effectiveness of Habitat Regulation Assessments (HRA), Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEA) laws in England and NI, and the potential for future improvements in these areas, by making comparisons with and using examples from environmental assessment regimes in other jurisdictions that are broadly equivalent or have similar objectives to HRA, EIA and SEA. We want to understand how the legal framework, wider legal context, policy, guidance, practice, caselaw and other factors influence success or failure of the regimes on the ground. OEP may use this information to make recommendations for improvements to the existing arrangements in England and NI. * Support the OEP's work to influence legislative or practical reforms to environmental assessment in England and NI to maintain or improve environmental protection.
