Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council commissioned a development delivery strategy for the former Beatties building in Wolverhampton city centre. The work is a professional consulting service covering development, regeneration, land assembly and compulsory purchase advice. The strategy was intended to provide evidence for Council decision-making, establish the public interest case, identify a viable and deliverable development approach, and recommend an appropriate route to delivery. It would support progress towards acquiring the site, procuring development partners and delivering the regeneration. The commission includes advice on compulsory purchase powers where required, but excludes drafting or implementing a Compulsory Purchase Order. The relevant service category is business and professional consultancy.

The Council reached tender and invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Enquiries were due by 29 June 2026 at 23:59, and tenders by 15 July 2026 at 12:00; the tender deadline was amended to that date. The single contract was valued at £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. Its planned period was 1 September to 31 December 2026. Evaluation was based on quality at 60% and commercial considerations at 40%. The procurement has since been terminated following a Council review that identified additional requirements. The specification will be reassessed and future procurement options considered.

This opportunity suited small and medium-sized consultancies with a strong track record in development strategy, urban regeneration and advising public bodies on complex property-led projects. Relevant suppliers would need to combine evidence-based development appraisal with practical understanding of viable schemes, delivery routes, land assembly and acquisition. Experience of advising on compulsory purchase powers would be particularly relevant, alongside the ability to develop a clear public interest case and provide analysis that supports decisions on partner procurement and implementation. The requirement called for suitably qualified and experienced consultants able to bring together development, planning, property, legal and commercial considerations, and to produce a coherent strategy for a prominent city-centre regeneration site.
