UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority is procuring business development consultancy services to support Brownfield Housing Fund Round 4 schemes. The appointed external provider will develop, review and refine project-level business cases, helping schemes progress towards funding and housing delivery across the Tees Valley. The work covers project business cases rather than construction or direct housing delivery, so it is relevant to consultancies with experience in public-sector investment cases, housing development, regeneration or related programme support. Delivery is across the Tees Valley area. The authority is a sub-central public body based in Darlington, and the requirement is classified as business development consultancy services.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 17:00, and tender responses and supporting documents by 18 September 2026 at 12:00. The planned award decision date is 29 September 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2027, with an optional 12-month extension to 25 October 2028. The published procurement and lot values are £0 gross. Evaluation is based on quality at 60%, price at 20% and social value at 20%. Electronic submission via the Delta eSourcing portal is allowed, and submissions must be in English.

This opportunity suits an SME consultancy able to provide structured business-case support for brownfield housing and regeneration projects. Strong candidates will be able to develop new cases and critically review or refine existing cases, translating project proposals into clear evidence for funding decisions. Relevant capability may include financial and economic appraisal, housing and development feasibility, regeneration programme knowledge, stakeholder engagement and preparation of concise, decision-ready reports. The requirement calls for an external provider able to work across multiple project-level schemes in the Tees Valley, so suppliers should have sufficient capacity to manage a portfolio rather than a single isolated assignment. Bids must also demonstrate meaningful social value alongside technical quality and price.
