## Summary

Winchester City Council has completed a tender process for consultancy services related to an Integrated Impact Assessment and Habitats Regulations Assessment. As a buying organisation categorised under sub-central government authorities, they awarded the contract to AECOM Ltd. The procurement focused on services within the urban planning and landscape architectural industries and pertinent consultancies were invited to partake in this project. The contract will run from 5th November 2025 to 31st May 2028, with a potential renewal until November 2028. The procurement method adopted was an open competition, valued at £93,090, below the threshold for detailed accounting.

This tender offers considerable business growth prospects, especially for large-scale consultancy firms specialising in urban planning, feasibility studies, and environmental assessments.

Suppliers with a strong background in strategic environmental and health consultancy services would find themselves well-positioned to compete for similar projects in the future. The process favoured quality over price, suggesting opportunities for firms excelling in delivering high-standard services.
