UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council are seeking suppliers for a framework providing planning development-management support and specialist landscape advice linked to planning applications. The service is centred on landscape architectural work, including advice to help assess or support planning applications and related development-management decisions. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The framework is intended for use by both councils, so suppliers should be able to work with local-authority planning teams and provide professional landscape input for a range of applications and development sites. The requirement is for services rather than construction, goods or general consultancy, and is particularly relevant to landscape architecture practices and firms combining landscape expertise with planning and development-management experience.

The process has reached tender: the councils invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot closed framework, with electronic submission allowed through the specified procurement portal. Enquiries were due by 14 August 2026 at 17:00, and offers by 26 August 2026 at 17:00. The framework is planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with a possible one-year renewal to 30 September 2030. Its estimated value is £159,200 excluding VAT, or £199,200 including VAT. Quality and technical merit carry 60% of the evaluation and price 40%. The framework does not guarantee any work, volume or frequency. Suppliers will be approached in quality-and-price-score order, subject to the stated circumstances where a supplier already advised on the site.

This opportunity suits landscape architecture practices and specialist planning advisers able to provide technically strong landscape advice for planning applications and development-management decisions. The evaluation gives greater weight to quality and technical merit than price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate the quality, relevance and technical robustness of their professional work. The framework may be useful to firms that can support multiple local-authority planning requirements over several years, while recognising that the councils do not promise a particular workload. Suppliers may be selected because they previously advised on a site, including at an earlier engagement or appeal stage, even where another supplier has a higher quality-and-price score. Firms therefore benefit from relevant site and planning experience, responsive advisory capacity and the ability to deliver consistent landscape input.
