In plain English

The Peak District National Park Authority needs specialist consultancy support to help them review a major carbon capture and storage pipeline project that needs government permission. The consultant will provide project management, planning advice, and expertise in landscape, heritage, archaeology and ecology for the entire decision-making process.

What the buyer wants

• Provide multidisciplinary consultancy covering project management, coordination and administration • Deliver specialist advice in infrastructure planning, landscape assessment, cultural heritage, archaeology and ecology • Support PDNPA's statutory role as a consultee throughout the entire National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) and Development Consent Order (DCO) process • Manage obligations under a Planning Performance Agreement with the project applicant

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: This contract requires proven, detailed experience of the entire NSIP/DCO process which most small businesses will not have, and the £500k budget suggests a large consultancy is expected. The work is specialist infrastructure planning, not a trade that a small builder, electrician or cleaner can bid for.
