Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hillingdon commissioned consulting services to develop a Local Growth Plan and a Strategic Asset Management Plan. The work was intended to support the council’s place-making and asset-management ambitions and wider corporate objectives. It comprised two concurrent work packages: a baseline assessment, identification of growth priorities, a Local Growth Plan and capacity review; and an initial strategic asset assessment followed by a Strategic Asset Management Plan. The work is associated with Uxbridge, where the council is based. This is local growth planning and strategic property and asset-management consultancy, rather than construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Inner Circle Consulting Limited on 1 September 2025. The award value was £75,849. The contract period runs from 1 September 2025 to 26 December 2026. Hillingdon Council used a competitive quotation process below the procurement threshold, with a limited procurement method. The original tender was valued at £150,000, and submissions were due by 14 March 2025. The requirement was presented as two work packages rather than separate lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The published information describes the intended work and stages but does not state evaluation weightings or detailed selection thresholds.

For consultancies that did not win, this award shows Hillingdon’s demand for joined-up place-making strategy and public-sector asset-management advice. A credible competitor would need to combine local economic and growth analysis with property and asset strategy: establishing a baseline, identifying growth priorities, assessing delivery capacity, reviewing assets and translating findings into practical plans. The council sought the growth plan and asset review as concurrent packages, so the ability to manage connected workstreams and produce a coherent strategic direction is relevant. The award went to an SME through a competitive quotation process below threshold, indicating that a smaller consultancy could deliver this scale of assignment. Experience advising local authorities on growth, place ambitions and strategic asset management would be pertinent when a comparable requirement returns.
