Summary of the contracting process

Flintshire County Council is seeking a suitably qualified multidisciplinary design team for Buckley in Flintshire, North East Wales. The services cover a concept design and public realm strategy for the town, classified as urban planning and landscape architectural services. The commission is intended to identify ways to improve the town centre environment, connectivity and public spaces, strengthen civic identity, and support long-term social, economic and environmental resilience. The resulting design work will inform capital works on site. Suppliers should be prepared to work across the relevant design disciplines and address the relationship between town-centre character, movement, public space and wider community, economic and environmental objectives.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically through the Proactis e-tendering portal. Questions must be submitted by 7 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 21 September 2026 to 13 November 2026, with an option to renew for three months, giving a latest stated end date of 12 March 2027. The estimated value is £170,000 excluding VAT, or £204,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality at 65%, price at 25% and social value at 10%.

This opportunity suits multidisciplinary consultancies able to combine urban planning, landscape architecture and related public-realm design skills in one team. Strong candidates will be able to develop a coherent concept design and town-centre strategy, translate ideas into practical improvements to connectivity and public spaces, and respond to civic identity and long-term social, economic and environmental resilience. The work is relevant to practices experienced in shaping public spaces and town-centre environments, particularly where design proposals need to lead into subsequent capital delivery. Quality is the largest evaluation component, while social value also carries a defined weighting, so suppliers should demonstrate both design capability and meaningful wider benefits.
