## Summary

The Borough Council of Newcastle-under-Lyme has initiated a procurement process under the tender stage to perform a Phase 1 Habitat Assessment for the Lyme Countryside Park. This project, titled "Lyme Countryside Park Phase 1 Habitat Assessment," is rooted in the environmental auditing industry and is aimed at developing the site of the former Keele Golf Course in Newcastle-under-Lyme into potential residential development and a countryside park. The tender is an open competition, valued at £18,000 gross, with the submission deadline set for 18 February 2026. Enquiries are to be submitted by 6 February 2026. The project seeks a service provider skilled in environmental protection, particularly within the West Midlands region. The council's contact point for this tender is Rebecca Allen, who can be reached via email or telephone.

Additionally, businesses located in or familiar with the West Midlands will find the regional focus advantageous. With a substantial emphasis (60% of the evaluation criteria) placed on quality and previous experience, quailed firms can leverage their portfolio to compete effectively.
