This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on research and development services and related consultancy. The procurement process utilised was direct, wherein the contract was given to a single supplier without competitive bidding. The Council, located at 2 High Street, Perth, is taking this forward to help identify sites with local importance for biodiversity through specified surveys and habitat mapping. The contract was officially signed on the 6th of September, 2025, and includes an option for extension by up to one month. The tender process originally commenced on the 6th of October, 2025. This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental ecology, consultancy, and research, particularly those experienced in habitat mapping and biodiversity assessments. The direct procurement method indicates trust and reliance on specialised expertise, making it suitable for niche enterprises with proven qualifications in this domain. Companies looking to expand their operations in the realm of ecological services or seeking to establish themselves as reliable partners in local government projects might find this an inspiration for sharpening their competencies and pursuing similar opportunities with the council. ## Notice Perth & Kinross Council were seeking to appoint a suitably qualified supplier to complete habitat and plant surveys of three proposed Local Nature Conservation Sites and complete habitat mapping to JNCC Phase 1 methodology, a species list, and recommendations as to the conditions and management of the site. This will inform an assessment panel discussion and potential identification of each site by Perth & Kinross Council as a site of at least local importance for biodiversity. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN532301 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 11 Jun 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £5,098 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL; ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL; BORDERS COLLEGE; COMHAIRLE NAN EILEAN SIAR; EAST LOTHIAN COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FOOD STANDARDS SCOTLAND (FSS); FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; FORTH VALLEY COLLEGE; HANOVER (SCOTLAND) HOUSING ASSOCIATION LTD; NEW COLLEGE LANARKSHIRE; NHS GREATER GLASGOW AND CLYDE; NORTH LANARKSHIRE COUNCIL; REGISTERS OF SCOTLAND; SCOTTISH BORDERS COUNCIL; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; THE STATE HOSPITALS BOARD FOR SCOTLAND; UHI EXECUTIVE OFFICE; UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE | | Locality | STORNOWAY | | Post town | Outer Hebrides | | Postcode | HS1 2BW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Inverness Millburn | | Westminster constituency | Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 34 | | Supplier names | ACE TAXIS PERTH; AGILICO (SCOTLAND) LIMITED (MAIN CONTACT; AMD CONTRACT SERVICES; BELL GROUP; BIFFA WASTE SERVICES; CATKIN ECOLOGY; CCG (SCOTLAND; DAVID ALFORD, FORESTRY & GRASS CONTRACTOR; E.
