## Summary

The procurement process led by Derbyshire County Council involved awarding a contract for highway retaining wall maintenance works along the A6 from Matlock to Whatstandwell. This project falls under the works category, and ecology services were also required to ensure compliance with environmental legislation. BSG ECOLOGY LTD has been engaged as the supplier for this contract, which has a value of £50,000, stretching from 22nd April 2026 to 31st October 2028.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in ecology services and highway maintenance to engage in public sector projects that contribute to environmental preservation and enhancement. Companies capable of offering expertise in these disciplines will find opportunities for growth through such public contracts, with sustainable development goals aligned with recent legislative updates.

## Notice

Ecology services are required to ensure local authority works comply with environmental legislation and avoid harm to protected species and habitats. Recent updates have strengthened duties on councils, including an enhanced statutory biodiversity duty under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 (as amended by the Environment Act 2021) and the introduction of mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain. Ecology input supports compliance with the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017, helps manage legal risk, and ensures works contribute to biodiversity conservation and enhancement.
