Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Property Development Service Limited commissioned highways design and planning consultancy for the Bilton Estate scheme in Rugby. The requirement covers RIBA Stages 1 to 3 only, taking the scheme through early-stage design and planning for highways-related works. The service category is highways consultancy. The work concerns the Bilton Estate development in Rugby, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a public-sector housing and property development organisation. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement covering the complete highways design and planning service, rather than separate service packages. It is relevant to civil and highways engineering consultancies able to provide design and planning advice for housing estate or development schemes during the early RIBA design stages.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Adept Consulting Engineers Ltd. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, with a single lot. The contract was signed on 19 June 2026, runs from 22 June 2026 to 22 June 2027, and has a gross value of £34,200. The contract is active. The published outcome identifies Adept Consulting Engineers Ltd as the supplier for the highways consultancy service. The procurement covered only RIBA Stages 1 to 3 of the Bilton Estate scheme in Rugby. This is therefore an awarded, relatively short-term consultancy commission delivered through a limited competitive route, rather than an open competition for a long-term construction or delivery contract.

For a supplier assessing future work from this buyer, the procurement demonstrates demand for early-stage highways design and planning support on housing estate development schemes. A credible competitor would need civil or highways engineering capability, experience of development-related highway design, and the ability to advise through RIBA Stages 1 to 3. Relevant teams would be expected to translate a housing scheme into workable highways proposals and support the associated planning process. The successful supplier was an SME consultancy, showing that this type of commission can suit a focused engineering practice rather than only a large multidisciplinary contractor. Firms with demonstrable highways consultancy experience, a proportionate team for a single estate scheme, and evidence of delivering coordinated design and planning advice would be well placed when comparable requirements are next considered.
