In plain English

King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council is buying a legally required environmental assessment of its new Local Plan (covering 2026 to 2044). The assessment must check how the plan could affect protected European wildlife sites in and around the borough. The estimated value is £90,000.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out a Habitat Regulations Assessment (HRA), which is a legal check on how the new Local Plan affects protected wildlife sites, as part of updating the Council's evidence base for the plan • Make an appropriate assessment of the Local Plan's implications for European sites (Special Areas of Conservation, Special Protection Areas and Ramsar sites) in and around the borough, measured against each site's conservation objectives • Submit a response through the Delta eSourcing portal using the link provided in the notice

Requirements

What could rule a small business out (our reading of the notice, written with AI): The notice sets out no explicit qualification, insurance or experience thresholds, but the work is a specialist legal environmental assessment of protected wildlife sites, so a small firm without proven ecological assessment expertise is the most likely to be ruled out.

Always check the tender documents.
