Summary of the contracting process

Bolsover District Council commissioned a professional consultancy to carry out a comprehensive strategic review of Pleasley Vale Business Park, a significant historic asset. The work is intended to examine existing strategic decisions and information, assess potential options, and inform future decisions by council officers and elected members. The requirement brings together structural engineering consultancy, environmental engineering consultancy and building-services expertise, making it relevant to multidisciplinary property, heritage, engineering and regeneration consultancies. The work is associated with Pleasley Vale Business Park in the Bolsover area of Derbyshire. The council is the buyer and commissioning authority. The requirement is for services rather than construction works or the supply of goods, with the emphasis on evidence-based review, option appraisal and advice on the business park’s future.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PURCELL ARCHITECTURE LIMITED. It was run as a below-threshold open competition with one lot. The tender deadline was 12 June 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries closed on 4 June 2026 at 16:00. Five bids were received, including three from SMEs. The award was made on 1 July 2026 for £106,310.04 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 6 July 2026 to 5 September 2026, with the contract signed on 21 August 2026. The active contract period recorded in the signed contract runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The evaluation weighting was 50% price, 40% quality and 10% social value. Additional services may be commissioned, with renewal in monthly periods for up to one year.

This award shows that Bolsover District Council values a single consultancy capable of combining strategic property advice with structural engineering, environmental engineering and building-services knowledge for a complex historic business-park asset. A credible future competitor would need experienced staff who can review existing evidence, test strategic options, identify practical implications and produce clear advice for both officers and elected members. The requirement also favours firms able to work across disciplines rather than offering a narrow technical survey alone, while retaining enough commercial and analytical capability to support decisions about an important public asset. Three of the five final-stage bidders were SMEs, indicating that the scale and delivery model can suit smaller specialist or multidisciplinary consultancies, including firms able to assemble complementary expertise through partners or subcontractors.
