The procurement process for the "CBC - Town Centre East Regeneration Plan" is spearheaded by Crawley Borough Council, which seeks to revitalise the eastern quadrant of Crawley Town Centre. The plan involves the development of six key sites, blending residential, commercial, cultural, amenity, and public spaces to create a sustainable urban quarter that aligns with local planning strategies. This process has reached the contract award stage with Farrells (London) LLP securing the contract through an open competition method deemed below threshold. Key dates include the contract period from 18th November 2025 to 28th February 2026, with an optional one-month extension. The primary procurement category is services, specifically urban planning and landscape architectural services, and the project will be executed in the United Kingdom, in Crawley, with an overall contract value of £83,000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in urban planning and architecture services, particularly those looking to expand their footprint in the public sector. Businesses that are adept at delivering strategic regeneration plans integrating diverse urban uses will find this contract a valuable case to enhance their portfolios. The tender demonstrated strong interest, with eleven bids received, underscoring a competitive field. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in particular, have a promising chance to compete in this space, as evidenced by Farrells (London) LLP, a successful SME bidder, emphasizing the viability for similarly scaled companies to engage in public sector projects and potentially leverage their expertise to influence future urban development initiatives across the UK.
