## Summary

Surrey County Council bought ecological services to support its statutory duty to improve, preserve and respect biodiversity across its land portfolio. The requirement covers a range of qualified and accurate ecological support for essential and statutory works on council land, including work carried out under licences held by the council from Natural England. Services are intended to be delivered safely, efficiently and in line with relevant guidance. The work is for the council’s land portfolio in Surrey, covering the areas served by Surrey County Council. This is an environmental planning and ecology support service rather than construction, equipment supply or general grounds maintenance. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold quotation exercise, with one completed lot. SWT Ecology Services Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. Its gross value is £39,858. The award covers environmental planning services. The stated basis for selecting a provider was the ability to provide similar ecological services and evidence successfully developed and maintained working relationships with customers and departmental outcomes. The contract is active, and the selected supplier is a small business. No separate award values or additional lots are recorded.

This outcome identifies a recurring requirement for specialist ecological support within a county council land portfolio. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need qualified ecology staff able to provide accurate advice and practical support for essential and statutory land-management works. Experience of working within Natural England licensing requirements, applying relevant guidance and delivering safely and efficiently would be important. Suppliers should also be able to demonstrate comparable work and show that they can build and maintain effective relationships with council customers and internal departments. The successful provider is an ecology-focused small business, indicating that a specialist SME can meet this type of public-sector need. Evidence should connect technical ecological work with wider departmental outcomes and reliable service delivery.
