Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

WAKEFIELD COUNCIL has successfully completed a procurement process for the project titled "Wheldale Farm and Stansfield Road (Castleford) Regeneration Consultancy". This project falls under the industry category of design consultancy services and is intended to support the development of land value and strategic objectives for certain land plots in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, concluded with an award on 1st June 2026. The contract, valued at £658,351.50, runs from 22nd June 2026 to 21st July 2030. The award was published on 14th July 2026, marking the formal completion of the tender stage.

This consultancy tender provides substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for organisations experienced in design and planning consultancies. The successful bidder, Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited (trading as Consultancy+), highlights the potential for large-scale businesses to secure contracts with significant financial implications. However, despite this, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to consider such opportunities, given the contract's specification for SME suitability. Businesses adept in negotiating with developers and providing strategic planning advice would have been well-suited to compete in this procurement process.
