The work covers the Plan Content and Evidence stage and the Proposed Plan stage, helping assess environmental issues as the plan for the Runnymede area is developed. This is a professional services requirement rather than a works or goods contract. The buying organisation is Runnymede Borough Council, based in Addlestone, Surrey. Delivery is associated with the Runnymede area and the wider United Kingdom. The relevant business category is environmental issues consultancy services, covering specialists who can provide planning-related sustainability appraisal and strategic environmental assessment for local authority plan-making. The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Runnymede Borough Council used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to SLR Consulting Ltd on 7 August 2026 for £39,487.64. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2029. The award is active. The requirement was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award covers the sustainability appraisal and strategic environmental assessment services for the Runnymede Local Plan stages described above. No lots are identified, so the award relates to the requirement as a whole. This award indicates demand from Runnymede Borough Council for specialist environmental planning support within local plan preparation. Suppliers best placed for comparable future requirements would have an established environmental consultancy capability, with practitioners able to deliver both sustainability appraisal and strategic environmental assessment rather than only general environmental advice. Relevant strength would include understanding how environmental evidence informs plan content, evidence bases and proposed plans, together with the ability to work within a local authority planning process. A credible competitor would also need to manage appraisal work across multiple plan-making stages, produce clear evidence for decision-makers and engage with the geographic and policy context of the Runnymede area. The stated suitability indicates a procurement aimed at established specialist providers rather than SMEs or VCSEs. ## Notice SA & SEA at Plan Content and Evidence and Proposed Plan stages of the Local Plan for the Runnymede Area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acc0b8d8-2241-4f7c-b4f1-767c9a9e961d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 4 Sep 2026 - 3 Sep 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £39,487 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Runnymede Borough Council | | Locality | SURREY | | Postcode area | Kingston upon Thames | | Postcode | KT15 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ25 West Surrey | | Local authority | Runnymede | | Electoral ward | Addlestone South | | Westminster constituency | Runnymede and Weybridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | SLR Consulting Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services ## Release History - 7 Aug 2026 at 16:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acc0b8d8-2241-4f7c-b4f1-767c9a9e961d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/acc0b8d8-2241-4f7c-b4f1-767c9a9e961d 7th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.runnymede.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
