Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council commissioned a feasibility study for Chester Town Hall Square. The work is architectural, construction and engineering consultancy, focused on assessing the square and informing potential future changes. The procurement is a call-off through the ESPO 664_25 arrangement. The delivery location is Chester, England. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works: the scope published is a feasibility study, with no further breakdown of study tasks or deliverables in the procurement description.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Steer Davies & Gleave Ltd, trading as Steer. The award was made on 2 October 2026, following an open procedure. The awarded contract value is £250,000. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender was valued at £250,000, with submissions due by 1 October 2026. The published information identifies one requirement and no separate lots. The study is described as a call-off under ESPO 664_25; no further evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are set out in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council for professional consultancy to assess a prominent civic public space and develop a feasibility study. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need architectural, engineering or construction consultancy capability, with the ability to bring together relevant built-environment expertise and produce a robust feasibility assessment for a town-centre public realm project. The selected supplier is a large consultancy, and the published suitability information indicates the requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The work was procured as a call-off through the ESPO 664_25 arrangement, so experience of supplying through public-sector procurement frameworks would be commercially relevant.
