The project falls within the services industry category, particularly involving economic and environmental impact assessments. This process, managed under a limited procurement method due to below-threshold competition, has reached the 'award' stage. Nathaniel Lichfields & Partners Limited, a large supplier based in London, has been selected and the contract was signed on 9th January 2026, with a completion date set for the end of April 2026. The tender aimed to engage suitably qualified consultants to provide an analysis of the economic, environmental, and social ramifications associated with the Sizewell C development. This tender creates valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in economic and environmental consulting, particularly those with expertise in impact assessments and property analysis. Companies that can offer strategic insights into how major construction projects affect regional infrastructure, real estate, and business landscapes will find this area beneficial for business growth. Businesses operating within the vicinity of East Suffolk or those looking to expand their consultancy services into this region are well-positioned to benefit from potential future projects influenced by the outcomes of this assessment. ## Notice East Suffolk Council (the Council) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from suitably qualified consultants to undertake a Commercial Land and Premises Study assessing the impacts of the Sizewell C project in East Suffolk.
