## Summary

Gloucester City Council has awarded a contract for the provision of net zero carbon planning policy evidence for Gloucestershire's local plans. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, falls under the 'services' category with a focus on research and development services. The procurement method employed was 'limited competition', targeting a contract value of £39,792. This award, active since 5th June 2026 and ending on 31st August 2026, encompasses locations across several UK regions, including the United Kingdom areas designated as UKC, UKD, UKE, and others. Gloucester City Council led the procurement on behalf of multiple local councils within Gloucestershire. The awarded supplier, BioRegional Development Group, is a small-to-medium enterprise (SME) located in London.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in climate-related consultancy and policy development, particularly those with expertise in research and planning for sustainable and operational net zero carbon policies. Companies that can provide evidenced-based recommendations and possess a robust understanding of planning policies will find ample growth prospects by aligning with progressive climate action strategies at a local government level. SMEs and consultancies focused on environmental research will be well-positioned to leverage their expertise in similar future procurement opportunities.

## Notice

Climate Leadership Gloucestershire (CLG) support partnership working on local climate challenges across the authorities within Gloucestershire. One focus area for CLG is addressing climate change within planning. Currently, CLG are supporting the development of ambitious and consistent climate planning policy across the local plans being developed within the county. This includes developing evidence which will support the climate policy as the authorities' local plans pass through consultation and Examination. Specifically, evidence is required to identify the basis for the level of climate action in the local plans and on the feasibility of operational net zero carbon policy. CLG are procuring climate planning policy evidence outlined within this ITT through Gloucester City Council on behalf of Cheltenham Borough Council, Forest of Dean District Council, Gloucester City Council, Stroud District Council, and Tewkesbury Borough Council. The other two authorities within Gloucestershire, Cotswold District Council and Gloucestershire County Council, either already have the scope of works or it's not currently relevant to them.
