Summary of the contracting process

Test Valley Borough Council is commissioning a consultant to prepare a masterplan for the future Romsey Health & Leisure Campus, centred on Romsey Rapids and Sports Centre and its wider site in Romsey. The work covers the future development and consolidation of sport, leisure, health and wellbeing facilities, including consideration of additional uses that support local communities. The masterplan should explore redevelopment options and produce a realistic, deliverable plan for modern, high-quality and fit-for-purpose facilities delivered efficiently. It should also respond to the planned growth of Romsey town and be developed with relevant stakeholders. This is a professional architectural, construction, engineering and inspection service, with masterplanning as the core requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: Test Valley Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 25 September 2026 at 11:00, and offers are due by 2 October 2026 at 11:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 26 October 2026 to 26 February 2027. Its estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Bids will be assessed on quality and cost, weighted 60% and 40% respectively. The requirement is below the applicable threshold and the council is seeking a single consultant appointment for the masterplanning work.

This opportunity suits consultants with demonstrable experience in masterplanning complex sport, leisure, health or wellbeing sites, particularly where existing facilities and uses need to be consolidated and expanded. Strong candidates will be able to develop practical redevelopment options and turn them into a realistic, deliverable masterplan rather than a purely conceptual vision. The work also calls for stakeholder engagement, so suppliers should be able to involve and respond to the needs of the wider community and other relevant parties. Relevant architectural, construction, engineering or inspection expertise is aligned with the service classification. The brief is likely to suit an experienced multidisciplinary practice or specialist masterplanning consultancy able to address facility quality, efficient delivery and planned town growth.
