Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Gloucester City Council involves the award of an urban planning services contract titled "Gloucester City Master Plan" aimed at transforming and regenerating Gloucester City. The procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on urban planning. The process was conducted using a limited competition method, below the threshold, starting with a tender initiation and now at the award stage. The contract was signed on 12th February 2026 and runs until 30th November 2026. The project's scope covers various regions across the United Kingdom, providing extensive reach and impact in the UK, particularly in the UKK region.

This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of delivering comprehensive urban planning and design services. Companies specialising in master planning and regeneration projects would find this contract particularly appealing. Given the limited competition procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may have competitive advantages in participating, as demonstrated by the successful bidder, PRIOR + PARTNERS LIMITED, an SME based in London. Consulting services capable of aligning with local government strategies and demonstrating expertise in transformative urban development are well-suited to compete and succeed in similar opportunities.
