## Summary

Cheshire West and Chester Council has completed a public procurement process for a "Green Belt Study" as part of their new local plan. This consultancy service, focusing on green belt assessment within the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" industry category, was contracted to OVE ARUP & PARTNERS LIMITED. The procurement method used was direct and conducted below the threshold, thus executed without a competitive tender. The procurement stage has reached the award and contract phase as of 24th October 2025, with the contract active till 28th February 2026. The project is located in the United Kingdom, specifically designed to support local planning within the UKD6 region, with a total contract value of £70,000.

The "Green Belt Study" presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in consultancy and research services, particularly those experienced in environmental and planning assessments. While this particular contract was awarded without competition, businesses looking to expand in the UK public sector might find similar future opportunities by closely monitoring council plans and upcoming projects. It is an ideal fit for large-scale firms capable of managing comprehensive assessments and contributing to significant urban planning initiatives.
