## Summary

Leicestershire County Council has successfully completed the award stage of a procurement process for "Ecology Consultancy Support" services, targeting the environmental impact assessment (EIA) industry category. This initiative addresses the evolving needs for ecological and biodiversity considerations in planning services due to statutory Biodiversity Net Gain requirements. The procurement utilised an open procedure, with a total contract value of £156,000 GBP, covering the delivery period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The services will be rendered across the regions of Leicestershire and Rutland in England. The award was made on 19th March 2025, involving two suppliers: Chevron Green Services Limited and Place Services (Essex County Council Traded Services), both large-scale enterprises.

This contract presents a prime opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, particularly those with expertise in biodiversity and construction-related assessments. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would find this tender particularly accessible due to its open procurement method, which encourages broad participation. The scope of services required ensures that businesses can leverage this contract as a substantial contributor to their portfolio, potentially paving the way for further engagements within public sector planning domains. Given the strategic focus on biodiversity and ecological assessments, firms in this sector could harness this opportunity to significantly bolster their presence and reputation within the environmental consultancy field.

## Notice

Local Planning Authorities are required to take ecology and biodiversity into account when making an assessment of a planning application. The Ecology Team at Leicestershire County Council provides specialist ecological advice to support this function on behalf of several partner districts and boroughs in the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland and to the in-house County planning services. As a result of statutory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) there has been an increase in our service requirements to partners, to provide BNG advice in addition to our previous advice for protected species and habitats. This contract opportunity is to provide ecological consultancy support to support this growth in service.
