Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council commissioned development consultancy services to prepare a Derby city centre Position Statement and Delivery Strategy Review. The work supports the Council’s submission of its Local Plan, providing strategic planning and development advice for the city centre. Delivery is in Derby, England. The requirement is a professional services assignment rather than construction or the supply of goods. The buyer is Derby City Council, based at the Council House in Corporation Street, Derby. The named supplier is Avison Young (UK) Limited, whose involvement indicates that the requirement was fulfilled by a specialist property and development consultancy. The opportunity is relevant to firms advising public bodies on city-centre planning, development strategy and evidence supporting local plan preparation.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 August 2026 to Avison Young (UK) Limited for £75,000 GBP. It is a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically Contract TD1668, and the tender submission deadline was 16 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. It covers one service requirement and was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The procurement was classified as development consultancy services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. Derby City Council is the buyer, and the awarded supplier is the only supplier identified for this requirement. The work is therefore already allocated under the stated contract period.

For firms that did not win this requirement, the award demonstrates demand from Derby City Council for focused city-centre development advice linked to local plan preparation. A credible competitor would need experience producing position statements, delivery strategies and strategic evidence for planning or regeneration programmes, with the ability to turn analysis into practical recommendations for council decision-making. Relevant capability includes understanding development opportunities, constraints, deliverability and public-sector planning objectives in an urban centre. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a framework call-off route and manage a concise consultancy assignment for a local authority. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so a specialist planning, regeneration or property consultancy with proportionate capacity could be well placed when comparable work returns to market.
