UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Swindon Borough Council commissioned planning consultancy support for the Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) underpinning its emerging Swindon Local Plan 2043. The work covers population projections, applying infrastructure provision standards to those projections, and working with infrastructure providers and other stakeholders to identify the mitigation needed in each area. The IDP addresses infrastructure associated with planned development, including transport mitigation, schools and healthcare provision. The completed outputs are intended to support the plan’s evidence base and be presented digitally at Regulation 19. The requirement is classified as urban planning and landscape architectural services. Delivery is in the Swindon area, for the council’s Planning Policy team.

This is a completed, below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Troy Hayes Planning Limited, an SME. The contract was signed on 13 July 2026 and runs from 14 July 2026 to 31 December 2026, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, up to 31 December 2027. Its value is £37,000 excluding VAT, or £44,400 including VAT. The procurement followed earlier work by the council to establish infrastructure provision standards and cost benchmarks and to complete an initial round of stakeholder engagement. The selected supplier is responsible for the remaining analytical, stakeholder and infrastructure-mitigation work needed to complete the IDP.

This requirement is relevant to planning consultancies experienced in local-plan evidence, infrastructure planning and development-related mitigation. A credible competitor would need to produce robust population projections, translate policy provision standards into infrastructure requirements, and assess needs by geographical area. It would also need to engage effectively with transport, education, healthcare and other infrastructure providers, alongside public-sector and community stakeholders. The work suits a small or specialist planning practice able to combine quantitative analysis with stakeholder coordination and clear digital reporting. Experience of preparing evidence for a local plan, working towards Regulation 19 publication, and converting technical findings into an infrastructure delivery programme would strengthen a future bid for comparable work with Swindon Borough Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Infrastructure Delivery Plan Support

Notice Description

The Planning Policy team are in the process of preparing a new Local Plan which will replace the current Local Plan 2026. The Infrastructure Delivery Plan (IDP) will serve an important part of the emerging Swindon Local Plan 2043's evidence base. The IDP is a key document which identifies the infrastructure required to support the allocations in the Local Plan. It covers a wide range of infrastructure, including transport mitigation, schools and healthcare provision. To date, SBC have identified provision standards and cost benchmarks for infrastructure categories and completed a first round of stakeholder engagement. Support is now required to create population projections, apply the provision standards to the population projections, and work with infrastructure providers and other key stakeholders to identify the infrastructure mitigation required per area. The final outputs will be presented at Reg 19 in a digital IDP. This procurement is being concluded following a limited competition procurement exercise.
