The procurement process reached its completion with the contract being awarded on 16 June 2026 to PELL FRISCHMANN CONSULTANTS LIMITED. The contract is set to begin on 1 April 2026 and will continue until 31 March 2029, with the possibility of a one-year extension. This framework operates under an open procurement method, below threshold, and does not include reopening competition due to its single supplier framework nature.

This process is conducted under the legislative framework detailed in UKPGA 2023/54.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in urban planning and landscape architecture, particularly those specialising in environmental planning.
