Summary of the contracting process

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council procured a multidisciplinary design team for Denton town centre’s public realm programme. The commission covers detailed designs for medium-term projects identified in the Denton Town Centre Masterplan and Public Realm Strategy, funded through the Destination Denton Levelling Up Fund. Services are led by a landscape architect and include civil and highways engineering, limited mechanical, electrical and lighting design, quantity surveying, road safety auditing, wayfinding and community engagement. This is a professional services requirement in architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services (CPV 71000000). Delivery is in Denton and the wider North West of England. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a tender process using the stated ‘Other’ procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 14 June 2026 at 23:59. Planit I.E. Limited was awarded the contract on 20 August 2026 for £1,313,708.38 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2028. The award covers the full multidisciplinary design team requirement rather than separately reported awards or lots. The published information identifies the service scope and overall value, but does not set out a separate weighting or detailed evaluation basis. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council is the buyer.

This award demonstrates a substantial, two-year requirement for integrated town-centre public realm design led by landscape architecture. A credible future competitor would need to assemble or lead a team spanning landscape design, civil and highways engineering, lighting and other limited M&E input, quantity surveying, road safety auditing, wayfinding and community engagement. The requirement favours organisations able to coordinate these disciplines into detailed designs for a public-sector masterplan and strategy, while managing grant-funded delivery. Relevant experience in town-centre regeneration, public realm schemes, highways interfaces, stakeholder engagement and design coordination would strengthen a future response. SMEs may be well placed to compete, either as a lead consultant with specialist partners or as a focused member of a multidisciplinary team.
