Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited procured planning consultant services for the Bilton Estate in Rugby. The requirement concerns urban planning advice and consultancy supporting the estate, with delivery in the United Kingdom and the named project location in Rugby. This is a professional services contract rather than construction, property maintenance or the supply of goods. The buying organisation is Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was arranged as one completed lot and covers the planning consultant requirement for the Bilton Estate. Businesses relevant to this type of opportunity include planning consultancies and professional advisers able to provide urban planning services for housing estate or property development projects. The classification for the service is CPV 71410000, urban planning services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to Montagu Evans LLP, an SME, and the contract was signed on 19 June 2026. The contract runs from 22 June 2026 to 22 June 2027 and has a gross value of £61,350. The award is active and relates to the single completed lot covering the Bilton Estate planning consultant requirement. The published procurement information identifies the method as limited competition below the relevant threshold. The contracting process used a tender, with the selected supplier appointed for the planning consultant services. The award was made by Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited, and the contract period defines the delivery window for the appointed planning adviser.

This award demonstrates demand from Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited for specialist urban planning consultancy supporting a housing estate project in Rugby. A credible competitor for similar work would need established capability in planning consultancy, urban planning advice and the delivery of professional services for housing or property development clients. Experience of working on estate-scale planning requirements would be relevant, as would the ability to provide clear advice to a housing-sector client and manage the requirements of a defined development project. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the work can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist consultancy rather than only by a large multi-service organisation. Firms with demonstrable planning expertise and experience of comparable housing-related projects are the closest commercial peers.
