Summary of the contracting process

Bassetlaw District Council commissioned a professional services assignment to assess the feasibility of the Carlton Forest site. The requirement is a feasibility study, covering the review and assessment work needed to inform decisions about the site. The contracting authority is Bassetlaw District Council, based in Worksop. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement is a single-site requirement rather than a split programme of goods, works and services. It is relevant to consultancies and professional service providers with experience of feasibility studies, site assessment and evidence-based advice for public-sector clients. The requirement is focused on producing a feasibility assessment for Carlton Forest, rather than delivering construction, facilities management or a general surveying service.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to Perfect Circle. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown, under the Procurement Act 2023. There was one completed lot. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and runs from 10 July 2026 to 11 September 2026. Its value is £36,652.54 excluding VAT, or £43,983.05 including VAT. Perfect Circle holds the active award for the feasibility-study service. The award relates to the full single-lot requirement, so there are no separate supplier outcomes or lot values to compare. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contract terms for this completed procurement.

This award shows that Bassetlaw District Council purchases focused feasibility-study expertise for individual sites and uses a below-threshold route for this type of requirement. A future competitor would need a credible track record of carrying out feasibility studies, reviewing site opportunities and constraints, and turning analysis into practical advice for council decision-makers. Relevant capability may include structured research, options appraisal, clear reporting and the ability to work to a short, defined assignment. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate experience relevant to site-based public-sector studies and present evidence that their work supports investment or development decisions. The successful supplier is a large professional services business, indicating that established consultancy capacity and the ability to deliver a complete study are commercially relevant.
