## Summary

Severn Trent Water Limited intends to establish a multi-supplier framework for ecology survey services supporting planned programmes and reactive requirements. The expected scope includes Preliminary Ecological Assessments, biodiversity enhancement plans and species-specific surveys, including bat and great crested newt surveys. The requirement is for services in England and Wales, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West and Wales. The work is classified as environmental engineering consultancy services (CPV 71313000). Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig is also identified as a buyer, with Welsh devolved regulations applying to its activity. The framework is intended to provide repeatable ecology survey delivery and consistent performance across a broad operational area.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Severn Trent Water Limited is testing market appetite and supplier capability before finalising its strategy, and there is no invitation to tender yet. The buyer expects to publish a future notice on 1 October 2026 and has scheduled market engagement to close on 30 September 2026. It intends to use a multi-supplier framework with one lot. The anticipated contract period is from 1 April 2027 to 1 April 2030, with renewal possible up to 1 April 2035. The requirement is above the applicable threshold and falls under the utilities regime. The scope and framework structure may be refined following market engagement. Suppliers are being asked to respond through the buyer’s Microsoft form.

This will suit ecology consultancies and environmental engineering firms able to provide a range of ecological assessment and survey services across England and Wales. Relevant capability includes Preliminary Ecological Assessments, biodiversity enhancement planning and specialist surveys such as bat and great crested newt work. The buyer is particularly interested in suppliers that can support efficient, repeatable delivery and consistent performance outcomes, including for both planned programmes and reactive requirements. The framework is explicitly considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist practices may be well placed to prepare. Businesses should use the market engagement period to explain their technical capability, geographic coverage, capacity for responsive work and approach to delivering consistent survey outputs at scale.
