Summary of the contracting process

Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council commissioned Stage 2 of its Infrastructure Delivery Plan for the local plan, Homes, Spaces, Places. The services are building consultancy and involve multiple meetings with stakeholders, analysis of a wide evidence base, and production of a Baseline Needs Assessment to inform the council’s infrastructure delivery plan. The work is delivered in the North West of England. The requirement is for professional consultancy rather than construction delivery, and is relevant to firms providing built-environment, infrastructure planning, evidence analysis and stakeholder engagement services. The council is the buyer and commissioning organisation. The requirement was designed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies as well as larger multidisciplinary practices with the necessary planning and analytical capability.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through the Constellia route. The tender submission deadline was 16 June 2026 at 23:59. Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council awarded the contract to Ove Arup & Partners Limited on 10 July 2026. The awarded value is £44,685.28 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 12 July 2026 to 11 September 2026. The procurement is categorised as services and identified as building consultancy services. The recorded procurement method detail is “Other”. The tender value and awarded value are both £44,685.28. The award is active and the overall tender status is complete. This is a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into lots.

This award demonstrates demand from Tameside Council for specialist infrastructure and building consultancy supporting local-plan development. A credible future competitor would need to lead structured stakeholder engagement, organise and interpret a broad evidence base, and turn that analysis into a clear Baseline Needs Assessment that can support infrastructure planning decisions. Relevant experience should combine built-environment consultancy with spatial, infrastructure or development planning and the ability to work with public-sector stakeholders. The requirement also suits smaller specialist consultancies, provided they can demonstrate sufficient analytical capacity, reliable project management and the breadth of expertise needed to connect evidence to an infrastructure delivery plan. Larger multidisciplinary firms may be well placed where they can provide these capabilities through an integrated team while maintaining clear, usable outputs for the council.
