Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council commissioned a proportionate heritage impact assessment of selected site allocations in its emerging Local Plan. The work is consultancy: assessing the potential effects of proposed site allocations on heritage assets, to inform the Council’s plan-making. Delivery is for Derby City Council in Derby. The requirement is focused on a selection of allocations rather than a general heritage assessment across the whole plan area. It sits within development consultancy services and is relevant to firms able to provide heritage assessment expertise in the context of local planning and site allocation decisions.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Land Use Consultants Limited. Derby City Council used an open competition below the public procurement threshold. The estimated contract period was 17 June to 26 August 2026; the signed contract instead runs from 22 June to 30 October 2026. It was signed on 21 June 2026. The awarded contract is valued at £26,326 excluding VAT (£31,591.20 including VAT). The original estimated value was £25,000 excluding VAT (£30,000 including VAT). There was one lot, marked suitable for SMEs. Quotations were to be submitted using the Council’s Request for Quotation document; the Council stated it would consider them and decide whether to proceed based on submitted quotations.

The award shows Derby City Council’s demand for proportionate heritage impact assessments of selected allocations in an emerging local plan. A credible competitor when this requirement next arises would need demonstrable experience and suitable qualifications in heritage impact assessment, together with the ability to assess the effects of proposed development sites on heritage assets in a local-planning context. The work is a defined consultancy commission for a selection of sites, rather than a broad plan-wide assessment, so suppliers would need to scope and deliver focused assessments against the Council’s requirements. The Council treated the opportunity as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a specialist small consultancy could compete, while the award to Land Use Consultants Limited shows that an established larger consultancy also secured the work.
