Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council commissioned a proportionate heritage impact assessment of selected site allocations in its emerging Local Plan. The work is consultancy: assessing the potential heritage effects of proposed development sites to inform plan-making. Delivery is for Derby City Council in Derby, within the East Midlands. The requirement is focused on heritage assessment of local-plan site allocations, rather than general planning or development consultancy.

The procurement is complete and Land Use Consultants Limited was selected. The award was made on 21 June 2026, at a value of £26,326. The contract period runs from 22 June to 30 October 2026. The original tender used an open procedure below the threshold, with bids due by 16:00 on 16 June 2026. The published tender estimate was also £26,326. The process identifies the work as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For consultancies that did not win, this award confirms a defined local-authority demand for proportionate heritage impact assessment to support emerging local plans. A credible competitor for comparable work would need demonstrable heritage assessment expertise and experience evaluating the effects of proposed site allocations, together with the ability to provide advice that is appropriately scaled to plan-making needs. The appointment went to a consultancy, and the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that this type of focused assignment can be within reach of smaller specialist firms. Firms combining heritage knowledge with planning consultancy capability are best placed to compete when Derby City Council next requires this specific kind of assessment.
