## Summary

Chesterfield Borough Council commissioned environmental assessment services for its Chesterfield Local Plan: a Habitats Regulations Assessment and a Sustainability Appraisal, including a Strategic Environmental Assessment. The work supports assessment of the plan’s effects on protected habitats and sustainability and environmental considerations. The buying organisation is Chesterfield Borough Council, and the service is associated with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is focused on planning-related environmental assessment rather than general environmental services.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to AECOM Limited. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award date was 19 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 23 October 2026 to 5 June 2029. Its value is £44,340 excluding VAT and £53,208 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, which is complete. The published information identifies the required assessments but does not set out separate evaluation criteria.

For this buyer’s future requirement, credible competitors would need to deliver both Habitats Regulations Assessment and Sustainability Appraisal, including Strategic Environmental Assessment, in support of a local plan. Relevant environmental assessment expertise and the ability to address habitat and sustainability impacts together are central to the scope. The award to AECOM Limited shows that a large multidisciplinary consultancy was selected for this combined planning-assessment work; suppliers should be able to demonstrate comparable technical capability and capacity to deliver across the contract’s extended period. The council used limited competition below the applicable threshold, so suppliers should also be prepared for a restricted competitive route rather than assume an unrestricted tender.
