Summary of the contracting process

Test Valley Borough Council is procuring consultancy services to develop a masterplan for the future Romsey Health & Leisure Campus. The work covers the Romsey Rapids and Sports Centre and its wider site, which contains sports and leisure facilities of different ages. The consultant will assess options for consolidating existing uses and adding facilities that support community health and wellbeing. The intended outcome is a realistic, deliverable plan for high-quality, modern and efficient sport, leisure, health and wellbeing facilities, responding to the planned growth of Romsey town. The work is classified as architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, with masterplanning as the central requirement. Stakeholder involvement is part of developing the plan.

The procurement has reached tender: Test Valley Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services requirement. The deadline for enquiries was 25 September 2026 at 11:00, and the deadline for submissions was 2 October 2026 at 11:00. The contract period is 26 October 2026 to 26 February 2027. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed. Tenders will be evaluated on quality and cost, with quality weighted at 60% and cost at 40%. The council is seeking a consultant able to turn the assessment of redevelopment options into a practical masterplan within this delivery period.

This opportunity suits consultancies with proven experience in masterplanning, particularly for complex sites containing multiple sport, leisure, health and wellbeing uses. Strong candidates will be able to assess existing facilities, develop and compare redevelopment options, and shape a coherent plan for consolidating uses while responding to local community needs and planned town growth. The requirement favours suppliers able to produce realistic, high-quality proposals that can be delivered efficiently, rather than a purely conceptual vision. Stakeholder engagement capability is important because the masterplan must be developed in conjunction with stakeholders. Firms should therefore be comfortable coordinating different interests, translating consultation into a practical site strategy and demonstrating experience of taking masterplans towards deliverable future development.
