Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority commissioned business-case consultancy for Brownfield Housing Fund Round 4 schemes. The work is to develop, review and refine project-level business cases, supporting decisions on funding and housing delivery across the Tees Valley. The programme described in the procurement aims to unlock £32 million in funding and facilitate about 1,085 new homes. The service is classified as business development consultancy (CPV 79411100). Delivery is across the Tees Valley area. This is a single-supplier requirement for consultancy support to the authority’s housing schemes, rather than construction work or the direct provision of homes.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Turner and Townsend Cost Management Limited. The award date was 15 October 2026, at £195,000 excluding VAT (£234,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 28 October 2026 to 28 October 2027, with an optional 12-month extension and a stated maximum extent to 25 October 2028. The authority used an open procedure. Quality carried 60% of the evaluation, price 20% and social value 20%. The single lot was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Eleven bids reached the final stage, including seven from SMEs.

For consultancy firms, this award evidences recurring demand from Tees Valley Combined Authority for specialist support on business cases for Brownfield Housing Fund projects. A credible competitor would need to develop and refine project-level cases and review them to meet funding and assurance requirements. The work spans multiple housing schemes, so capability to manage changing scheme volumes and complexity would be relevant. The procurement also identifies possible changes to funding allocations and requirements, as well as cyber incidents that could affect delivery; suppliers should be equipped to respond to these risks. The evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, with social value also assessed, so a strong future competitor would need to demonstrate robust technical delivery and social value alongside competitive costs.
