## Summary

West Suffolk Council, located in Bury St Edmunds, procured the Mycelia Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) Software, a cloud-based platform, through a direct procurement method without competition. The procurement falls under the "Software package and information systems" category, aimed at aiding statutory BNG reporting and managing planning applications. The contract, valued at £12,000 gross, was awarded to Verna Earth Solutions Ltd on 21st November 2025 and was signed on the same day.
