This award demonstrates demand from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead for specialist environmental assessment consultancy to support local-plan preparation. A credible competitor would need to offer a qualified consultancy service covering both Strategic Environmental Assessment and Habitats Regulations Assessment, and be able to apply these assessments to a local planning document. The work combines environmental impact assessment with environmental planning, so suppliers need relevant capability across those linked disciplines. The contract was delivered by a large consultancy, indicating that firms with the expertise and capacity to manage both assessment strands may be well placed when this requirement returns to market.
