Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Westminster City Council procured planning consultancy services for the Brunel development opportunity site in London. The scope covers planning support through RIBA stages 1 to 4, spanning the early definition and feasibility work through to developed design and technical design. The requirement falls within architectural, engineering and planning services. It is a service contract supporting the development pipeline for the site, with the council as the buying organisation. Delivery is in London, England. The procurement was run as a call-off from the Notting Hill Genesis Development Consultants Framework, Lot 4 for planning consultants, rather than as a standalone open-market tender.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 6 June 2025 at 12:00. Westminster City Council awarded the contract to Savills (UK) Limited on 15 October 2025 for £201,950. The contract period runs from 25 February 2026 to 24 February 2028. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The evaluation basis recorded for this process is the framework call-off route and its associated selection arrangements; the award was made to the named supplier for the full planning consultancy requirement.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need demonstrable planning consultancy capability across RIBA stages 1 to 4, with experience supporting development opportunity sites from early feasibility and definition through developed and technical design. Relevant firms would need to understand how planning advice integrates with architectural and engineering design and how to support a public-sector development pipeline. Experience of London development contexts and of working with local authorities would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award also shows that the buyer uses a specialist development-consultants framework route, so firms seeking comparable work should be able to meet framework-level requirements and operate effectively within a call-off process. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, indicating that this scale of specialist consultancy can be delivered by an appropriately resourced smaller practice.
