Summary of the contracting process

Hart District Council has awarded a contract for the "New Hart Local Plan: Project Planning Support" to OVE ARUP & Partners Limited. This procurement process, classified under project management consultancy services, is part of the local government procurement initiatives. Based in Fleet, United Kingdom, the council sought proposals from potential suppliers, ultimately selecting a large-scale company from London to provide services. The open competition method was applied, with crucial milestones such as the award date on 1st May 2025 and the contract period starting on 15th May 2025 and ending on 31st July 2025. This contract includes options for ongoing project management support if needed beyond the specified terms.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in project management consultancy, particularly those capable of delivering detailed plans and resource allocations. Especially suitable for medium and large enterprises capable of meeting the council's specific quality and methodological requirements, this type of contract can provide a gateway to long-term associations with local government bodies. By successfully delivering on the contract requirements, there is potential for the winning firm to secure further contracts in the future, particularly if the council opts to extend the services as planned.
