Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council procured planning consultancy for the Lutterworth East project. The work covers planning advice to support the project’s planning consent, including discharging planning conditions, discussions with Homes England and advice on enabling a deed of variation with Harborough District Council. The work relates to the Lutterworth East development in England; the council is based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 September 2026 to Shakespeare Martineau LLP. It was let as a call-off contract through the CHIC Legal Services Framework. The awarded contract value is £165,000. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 22 April 2029. The tender submission deadline was 29 September 2026. The stated procurement information does not set out separate lots or evaluation criteria.

This award shows demand from Leicestershire County Council for planning consultancy tied to a major development project, including consent support, condition discharge and advice involving Homes England and Harborough District Council. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate practical planning expertise, experience navigating planning-consent processes and the ability to advise on discussions with public bodies and deed variations. The work was routed through the CHIC Legal Services Framework, so relevant framework access would be important for competing through the same purchasing route. The contract indicates a sustained, multi-year advisory requirement rather than a one-off planning opinion.
