## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority recently conducted a procurement for a "Strategic Green Belt Review", employing a limited competition method. The award stage was reached, with the contract being signed on 24th June 2026 for a term concluding on 2nd January 2027. This project falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on evaluation consultancy services. The scope of work includes reviewing Green Belt assessments, evaluating their methodologies, and considering wider roles such as biodiversity and climate resilience across the West Midlands region of the UK. The contract was awarded to SLR Consulting Limited, reflecting the completed status of the procurement process.

This tender provides significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in environmental evaluation and policy alignment. Particularly well-suited are large consultancies with expertise in spatial planning and sustainability. By engaging in such governmental projects, businesses can expand their portfolio in strategic environmental assessments, potentially paving the way for further public sector opportunities. The work not only supports regional development goals but can also bolster the participating firm's reputation as a leader in sustainable consultancy services.

## Notice

WMCA are looking to recruit a consultant to review and evaluate the various Green Belt assessments already undertaken, identifying where methodologies align or diverge and determining whether, and how, they can be treated consistently for SDS purposes. The study is also required to extend beyond the National Planning Policy Framework's five purposes of the Green Belt and assess the wider functional roles that Green Belt land performs across the region, including recreation and access, biodiversity, carbon sequestration and climate resilience, food production, and landscape and visual contribution. The outcomes of the work should support the development of strategic spatial options, inform Green Belt policy within the SDS, assist Local Plan alignment across the wider area and contribute to the design of environmental net-gain and enhancement programmes.
