UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

LATIMER (TENDRING COLCHESTER BORDERS GARDEN COMMUNITY) DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED commissioned commercial support and cost consultancy for the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community Project. The requirement falls within financial consultancy services and concerns commercial and cost advice supporting the development of the garden community. The work is connected to the Tendring-Colchester Borders area, with the buyer based in London. The named public authority is the project development company, which is responsible for buying these services. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies that advise on project costs, commercial management and financial matters for major development programmes, particularly those working with public-sector or public-purpose development organisations. It is a professional services requirement rather than a construction, supply or facilities-management contract.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to William Durden & Associates Limited on 20 July 2026. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The award covers one completed lot and is for financial consultancy services. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026, runs from 21 July 2026 to 30 November 2028, and has a maximum extension date of 30 November 2029. Its gross value is £190,106.40. The contract is active and may be extended as required. The selected supplier is William Durden & Associates Limited, based in Market Harborough. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as “Commercial Support & Cost Consultant”; the competition route was limited rather than an open tender, so the process was conducted among a restricted field of suppliers.

This award indicates demand from Latimer for specialist commercial and cost consultancy to support the Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community Project. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate practical experience in commercial advisory work, cost consultancy and financial consultancy, with the ability to support a substantial, multi-year development programme. Relevant strengths include cost planning, financial analysis, commercial risk management, reporting and advice that can inform development decisions. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement could be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only by a large multidisciplinary firm. Businesses with experience advising development companies, public authorities or garden-community programmes would be well placed to evidence a close fit when this buyer next reviews a comparable requirement.
