Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Gentoo Group appointed a planning consultant for a development at Old Mill Road. The requirement covers planning consultancy within the wider field of architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, classified under CPV 71000000. The work is to be delivered in the North East of England. Prosper Procurement Ltd managed the procurement on behalf of the contracting body and is recorded as the buyer. This is a professional services requirement for businesses that advise on planning matters connected with development projects, rather than for construction delivery itself. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so relevant specialist consultancies as well as larger multidisciplinary practices could be appropriate suppliers.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award under the Design & Consultancy Services Framework, rather than an open competition. Pegasus Planning Group Ltd was awarded the contract on 19 June 2026 for £31,955 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 21 June 2029. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 23:59, although the direct-award route means the procurement outcome was determined through the framework. The award is active and relates to the full planning consultancy requirement for the Old Mill Road development. No separate lots or additional awards are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement indicates established demand for planning consultancy supporting a housing or development client in the North East. A credible competitor would need demonstrable planning expertise, experience advising on development projects and the capacity to provide sustained professional support over a multi-year commission. The successful supplier was a large planning practice, but the requirement was expressly considered suitable for SMEs, so a specialist consultancy could compete where it can show relevant project evidence, dependable delivery capacity and the ability to work within a public-sector design and consultancy framework. Familiarity with framework direct-award routes and the ability to support Gentoo Group's development programme would also be commercially relevant when a similar requirement returns.
