Summary of the contracting process

The Tees Valley Combined Authority has successfully concluded the procurement process for the development of a Spatial Development Strategy. This contract was competitively secured by Stantec Fore Limited and falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services. The project is located in the North East of the United Kingdom, with a focus on supporting strategic planning in that region. The tender initially opened for a short period, closing on 7th September 2025, with the contract starting on 8th September 2025 and set to conclude by 12th December 2025. The procurement was conducted through a single tender action, a direct approach suited for below-threshold projects, with the award officially published on 8th October 2025.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy and research services, especially those equipped to offer innovative solutions for spatial development. SMEs, in particular, are well-suited to compete in similar projects, given the project's suitability for smaller-scale enterprises. The locale of the project in the North East may also favour organisations seeking to expand their influence or operations within this region, potentially leveraging strategic development projects to foster growth and collaboration. Expertise in regional development strategy will be advantageous for future opportunities in this field.
