## Summary

Luton Council has completed a procurement process titled "BT1804 - Green and Blue Infrastructure Study" under the limited competition method, classified as a service in research and development consultancy. The project focuses on producing a Green and Blue Infrastructure Study to aid in the development of related policies within a new Luton Local Plan, in accordance with UK planning guidelines. The contract, valued at £39,066.25 net (£46,879.50 gross), is active from 7th July 2025 to 6th July 2026. The Environment Partnership (TEP) Ltd from Warrington has been awarded the contract. The procurement process falls under the category of public authority - sub-central government, with the main location for delivery in Luton, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises specialising in environmental consultancy services to engage in local government contracts, thereby expanding their portfolio and establishing a foothold in public sector projects. The infrastructure study, crucial for urban planning, would greatly benefit from businesses with experience in environmental assessments and policy recommendations. The focus on implementing the National Planning Policy Framework ensures that participating businesses can contribute to sustainable development initiatives, aligning with current ecological and urban planning standards.

## Notice

The requirement is to produce a Green and Blue Infrastructure and Study to provide the evidence required for the development of green and blue infrastructure-related policies within a new Luton Local Plan.

The methodology used within the study must meet the requirements of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG), and any subsequent updates to these whilst the study is being undertaken.
