UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bromsgrove District Council and Redditch Borough Council are seeking suppliers for a framework of planning and development management services, with specialist viability advice connected to planning applications. The requirement covers urban planning services, including professional assessment and advice on the viability of development proposals and sites. Work will be delivered in the United Kingdom for the two councils. The framework is intended to support planning-related requirements as they arise, rather than a single defined project. It is therefore relevant to planning consultancies, development viability specialists and multidisciplinary firms able to advise public-sector planning teams on applications and associated development management matters.

The procurement has reached tender: the councils invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 17:00 on 14 August 2026, and offers by 17:00 on 26 August 2026, using the ProContract portal; electronic submission was allowed. The framework term is 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with a possible one-year renewal to 31 August 2030. Its estimated value is £159,200 excluding VAT (£199,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Offers are evaluated on quality and technical merit, weighted 60%, and price, weighted 40%. Suppliers will be ranked by their overall quality-price score, with work allocated without reopening competition.

This opportunity suits firms with demonstrable expertise in planning, development management and development viability, particularly those able to provide specialist advice on the viability of planning applications and development sites. Suppliers should be capable of producing technically robust, commercially informed advice for council decision-making and responding to requirements across the framework term. The framework may suit established planning consultancies, specialist viability practices and larger multidisciplinary teams with sufficient capacity to support two councils. It does not guarantee any work, or a particular quantity or frequency of instructions. Where a supplier has previously advised on a site, that supplier may be selected instead of the higher-ranked supplier.
