Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has awarded a contract for architectural, civil, and structural design services for the land at Coniscliffe Road. As part of a procurement process initiated by tender, the council procured these services through a direct procurement method under a below-threshold agreement without competition. The process covered the planning application work needed, including feasibility studies, engineering strategy, earthworks, drainage, and detailed design work, with the contract commencing on 15th October 2025 and concluding on 21st May 2026. Any businesses located in the region of UKC13, which encompasses Darlington in the United Kingdom, might find interest in the outcomes of the completed project.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities in the architectural and engineering sectors, particularly for businesses specialising in civil and structural design services. While the procurement process was conducted without open competition, similar opportunities could be valuable for large-scale enterprises such as Queensberry Design Ltd, the awarded supplier. Enterprises capable of delivering comprehensive design and engineering solutions, and those with a strong portfolio in public infrastructure projects, would find similar tenders promising for business expansion into local government projects.
