## Summary

Suffolk County Council commissioned an economic impact assessment of Westerfield Quarry. The work is an economic assessment service, intended to assess the quarry’s economic impact. The requirement is focused on this named quarry rather than a general county-wide assessment. Delivery is in Suffolk, England. The council is the buyer, and AECOM Limited is the supplier selected to carry out the work. The procurement is for a single assessment, grouped as one lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to AECOM Limited. Suffolk County Council used a limited competition below the procurement threshold. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026 and runs from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2027. Its value is £29,763 excluding VAT, or £35,716 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is active. The assessment is the sole lot in the procurement. No separate award criteria or scoring basis is recorded in the process details.

This contract shows demand from Suffolk County Council for specialist economic impact assessment relating to a specific quarry development. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need credible capability in assessing and explaining the economic effects of quarry activity, with the expertise to deliver a focused study for a local authority. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, indicating that established consulting capacity can be relevant, although the contract’s modest overall scale may also suit specialist economic consultancies able to resource a discrete assessment. A strong competitor would be able to turn evidence about the quarry and its local context into a robust impact assessment. The work is a defined advisory service rather than construction or quarry operations.
