## Summary

Slough Borough Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced environmental planning consultant to carry out a Strategic Environmental Assessment and a Habitats Regulations Assessment for the Council’s new Local Plan. The work covers environmental impact assessment, environmental planning, urban planning and environmental issues consultancy. It will support the preparation and assessment of the Local Plan, including consideration of its effects on habitats and the wider environment. The buying organisation is Slough Borough Council, and the requirement is for services delivered in the United Kingdom. Participation is reserved for organisations located in the United Kingdom. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, covering both assessment services as one commission.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for tender submissions was 24 September 2026 at 12:00 BST, with electronic submission allowed through the specified procurement portal. The contract was scheduled to start on 12 October 2026 and run until 4 December 2028, with a possible three-month renewal extending the maximum end date to 3 January 2029. The published estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT and £96,000 including VAT for the overall tender; the lot value is recorded as AED 80,000 excluding VAT and AED 96,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on technical quality weighted at 60% and price at 40%.

This opportunity suits environmental consultancies and planning practices with established expertise in Strategic Environmental Assessment and Habitats Regulations Assessment. Suppliers should be able to assess the environmental effects of a local plan, evaluate impacts on protected habitats and provide clear, evidence-based advice suitable for the local planning process. Relevant experience in environmental impact assessment, environmental planning, urban planning or wider environmental consultancy would place a business well for this requirement. The Council is looking for a consultant with suitable professional qualifications and demonstrable experience, rather than a general administrative or construction supplier. The single-contract structure may suit a specialist consultancy able to provide both assessment disciplines directly, or a lead consultant coordinating the necessary environmental expertise.
