UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bromsgrove District Council is procuring a framework for planning and development management services, with specialist advice relating to planning applications for agriculture. Redditch Borough Council is the procuring entity and will use the framework alongside Bromsgrove District Council. The requirement is classified as urban planning services and covers work delivered in the United Kingdom. The appointed suppliers will provide professional planning advice associated with agricultural applications and development management. This is a public-sector consultancy opportunity for organisations able to assess agricultural planning matters and support councils with advice on planning applications and related development decisions. The framework is intended to provide a pool of suppliers that councils can approach for this specialist work, rather than a guaranteed volume of assignments.

The process has reached tender: the councils invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a closed framework agreement operated without reopening competition. The deadline for enquiries was 14 August 2026 at 5pm, and the deadline for tender submissions was 26 August 2026 at 5pm. The framework contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a possible one-year renewal extending the maximum period to 30 September 2030. Its estimated value is £159,200 excluding VAT (£199,000 including VAT). Offers will be evaluated on quality and technical merit, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Supplier ordering will follow overall quality and price scores, with previous advice on a site potentially affecting which supplier is approached.

This opportunity suits planning consultancies and specialist advisers with demonstrable expertise in agricultural planning applications and development management. Suppliers should be able to provide technically robust advice to local authorities, interpret agricultural proposals in a planning context, and support decisions across relevant application work. Strong quality and technical capability will matter more than price in evaluation, so firms with experienced staff, sound written advice and a clear approach to delivering specialist planning services are well placed to compete. The framework may suit organisations able to respond to assignments for more than one council and to build continuity of knowledge about individual sites. Previous experience advising on a site could also improve a supplier’s position when work is allocated.
