Biodiversity Net Gain Framework – Market Sounding

Leeds City Council · Local authority

In brief

Leeds City Council has announced plans to buy grounds maintenance and construction work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £800,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 1 April 2026.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 55 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £800,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Leeds City Council (the “Council”) is looking into a potential procurement option to put in place future contractual arrangements for suitably qualified and experienced organisations to deliver habitat enhancement and management across multiple sites city wide on behalf of Leeds Habitat Company delivering Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG). To support this, the Council would like to gain information from the market regarding a number of issues related to the potential procurement exercise. You are therefore invited to consider the programme requirements detailed in this document and complete the attached questionnaire to give us your feedback on the proposed approach.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Register your organisation on the Central Digital Platform (through Find a Tender) if you have not already. Suppliers need to be registered to take part in procurements under the Procurement Act 2023.
  3. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
