Summary of the contracting process

Fylde Borough Council commissioned a financial viability assessment for the Fylde Local Plan to 2042. The service is to assess whether the plan is financially viable, providing specialist financial consultancy to support the Council’s local-plan work. Delivery is for Fylde, Lancashire, within the Council’s administrative area. The contracting authority is Fylde Borough Council, based in Lytham St Annes. The requirement is classified as financial consultancy services (CPV 66171000) and was arranged as a single service requirement. This is relevant to consultancies that advise local authorities, planning teams or public bodies on development viability, infrastructure funding, plan viability or related financial assessment. The work sits at the intersection of planning policy, public-sector finance and financial modelling.

The procurement has been completed and awarded, with the contract active. Fylde Borough Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Keppie Massie Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and runs from 29 July 2026 to 28 January 2027. It has an option for two six-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 28 January 2028. The contract value is £31,500 excluding VAT and £37,800 including VAT. Further time for main modifications, MIQs, examination or similar work may be charged using the relevant staff hourly rates. The award covers the sole lot and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates Fylde Borough Council’s demand for specialist financial consultancy supporting a long-term local plan. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to assess financial viability in a planning-policy context and present findings that a local authority can use during plan preparation, examination and related modifications. Relevant capability is likely to include development viability appraisal, financial modelling, analysis of assumptions and costs, and clear reporting for public-sector decision-makers. Experience of working with planning authorities and understanding the examination process would be directly relevant, as would the ability to respond to additional technical queries and changing requirements using appropriately skilled staff. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of specialist assignment can be delivered by a focused consultancy rather than only a large professional-services firm.
