Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Sustainable development- collaboration with Place Services" was initiated by North Northamptonshire Council. This procurement aimed to enhance the Planning Services Team's support through urban design, landscape, historic environment, and ecology expertise. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, falling below the threshold and thus, without competition. The contract, valued at £200,000, started on 1st April 2026 and is scheduled to conclude on 31st March 2027. This award is in the services category, specifically covering Urban Planning and Landscape Architectural Services (CPV Code: 71400000), and is located in the UKF25 region. The procurement process has reached the "Award" stage, with the award finalized on 15th May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in urban planning, landscape architecture, and related services. The contract involves collaboration on sustainable developmental projects, providing scope for businesses focused on environmental and planning consultancy to demonstrate their expertise and expand their service footprint. Large-scale firms, like Essex County Council that secured the contract as a supplier, are well-suited for this type of work, although smaller enterprises with niche expertise in the described areas could also benefit from similar future opportunities.
