Summary of the contracting process

Wyre Borough Council, acting on behalf of the Fylde Coast Sub Region Authorities, procured flood risk assessment consultancy. The requirement covers an update to the Fylde Coast Authorities Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and a Level 2 assessment for Fylde Council. This is a professional business and management consultancy service, involving strategic flood-risk evidence to support planning and development decisions across the Fylde Coast. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, for authorities in the Fylde Coast area. The buying organisation is Wyre Borough Council, a sub-central public authority based at the Civic Centre in Poulton-le-Fylde. The requirement is a single service package rather than a procurement divided into multiple separately described lots.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct below-threshold procedure without competition. One supplier was selected: JEREMY BENN ASSOCIATES LIMITED. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026, runs from 1 August 2026 to 20 November 2026, and has a value of £43,535 excluding VAT or £52,242 including VAT. The award is for the single flood risk assessment requirement. The published outcome records the contract as active and the award as active. Evaluation was conducted through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no competitive scoring basis is reported. The contracting authority is Wyre Borough Council, procuring for the Fylde Coast Sub Region Authorities and Fylde Council.

This procurement indicates demand from Wyre Borough Council and its partner authorities for specialist flood-risk consultancy supporting local planning and development. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable capability in strategic flood-risk assessment, including preparing or updating Level 1 assessments and undertaking more detailed Level 2 work for a local authority area. Credibility would come from relevant technical expertise, experience of producing evidence for planning decisions, and the capacity to deliver a focused consultancy assignment for several public-sector stakeholders. Firms should also understand how to work across the Fylde Coast authorities and translate flood-risk analysis into clear, usable outputs for council clients. The chosen supplier was a large consultancy business, indicating a procurement suited to an established specialist provider.
