Summary of the contracting process

On 17th July 2026, Swindon Borough Council concluded its procurement process by awarding a contract to Troy Hayes Planning Limited for the Infrastructure Delivery Plan Support, part of the broader efforts for the Swindon Local Plan 2043. This contract is specifically aimed at supporting the Planning Policy team with important infrastructure requirements, addressing areas such as transport mitigation, schools, and healthcare provisions across the Swindon region (UKK14). The procurement was conducted via a limited competition method below the threshold, and is currently in the award stage. The contract started on 14th July 2026 with an end date set for 31st December 2026, and includes a provision for extension up to the end of 2027. This initiative is governed under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54.

For businesses specialising in urban planning and landscape architectural services, this tender represents a promising opportunity to contribute to a major local government initiative. Companies skilled in creating population projections and working with infrastructure providers will find this project particularly rewarding. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete in such a limited competition procurement environment, as demonstrated by the awarding of the contract to an SME like Troy Hayes Planning Limited. Engaging in this project could drive business growth by establishing a strong presence in the public sector and showcasing expertise in infrastructure planning and development.

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.
