UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wyre Borough Council commissioned a Local Plan viability assessment, covering the preparation and analysis of the evidence base, baseline and policy-option viability testing, consideration of delivery and policies, and construction cost assessment. The requirement also includes producing draft and final reports and responding to consultation feedback. This is a professional consultancy service in business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000). The work is for Wyre Borough Council and is delivered in the United Kingdom. It supports the council’s local planning work by assessing whether proposed policies and development options are viable and how they can be delivered.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to KEPPIE MASSIE LIMITED. Wyre Borough Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award is active and the contract was signed on 7 July 2026. The contract runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 December 2028. Its value is £31,500 excluding VAT, or £37,800 including VAT. The evaluation outcome was the selection of KEPPIE MASSIE LIMITED for the single requirement. The contract covers the Wyre Local Plan Viability Assessment and its associated reports and consultation response work. No tender deadline or competitive evaluation timetable applies to this awarded procurement.

This award indicates demand from Wyre Borough Council for specialist planning and development viability consultancy, rather than general management advice. A credible future supplier would need to assess a local plan’s evidence base, test baseline assumptions and policy options, examine delivery implications, and undertake construction cost assessments. It would also need to turn technical analysis into clear draft and final reports and respond effectively to consultation representations. Relevant experience in viability appraisal for planning policy, development delivery and construction economics would be important, alongside the capacity to manage several analytical stages and present defensible findings to a public-sector client. The requirement suits a focused consultancy with strong report-writing and stakeholder-response capability.
