UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned built heritage services for BWR Phase 2, supporting a planning submission. The requirement is a professional service covering built heritage advice within the wider field of urban planning and landscape architectural services (CPV 71400000). The work is associated with the council’s BWR Phase 2 project and is delivered in the Bath and North East Somerset area. The council is the public-sector buyer. The service is therefore relevant to consultancies that advise on heritage considerations in planning applications, prepare or support built heritage assessments, and work alongside planning and design teams on development proposals affecting the historic environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly to THE BUILT HERITAGE CONSULTANCY LIMITED, an SME, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 9 September 2026 and runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 January 2029. Its value is £33,950 excluding VAT, or £40,740 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot covering the full requirement. The published outcome identifies a single appointed supplier. The available award information records the service category and supplier, while the contracting route was a direct award rather than a competitive tender. This is a completed procurement outcome, not an invitation to submit a bid.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Bath & North East Somerset Council for specialist built heritage input to support a planning submission over a multi-year delivery period. A future competitor would need credible expertise in built heritage and the ability to provide advice that fits within urban planning and landscape architectural work. Relevant firms are likely to be specialist heritage consultancies, planning practices with in-house conservation capability, or multidisciplinary design teams able to produce clear, planning-focused heritage advice. The appointed supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national consultancy. Experience working with local authorities and development proposals in historic environments would strengthen a supplier’s credibility.
