UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tees Valley Combined Authority procured consultancy support for the Brownfield Housing Fund Round 4 programme. The work covers two linked services: assessing the maturity of proposed brownfield housing projects against gateway requirements, and developing and hosting business case workshops for eligible applicants. Its purpose is to help create a stronger pipeline of housing projects and support applicants to develop fundable proposals. This is a business development and project development consultancy service, delivered for the Combined Authority across the Tees Valley area. The requirement was managed by Tees Valley Combined Authority, a sub-central public authority. It comprised one complete requirement rather than separate lots, with the awarded service classified under CPV 79411100, business development consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition. Three bids were received and two reached the final stage. The award is for £125,000 excluding VAT, or £150,000 including VAT. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 30 August 2027, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, up to 30 August 2028. The award is active and the contract signature was scheduled for 17 September 2026. One supplier was selected for the single lot. The available procurement information identifies the service requirement and limited-competition route, but does not set out separate scored evaluation weightings.

This requirement indicates demand for consultancy firms that can combine public-sector programme support, housing project development and commercial assessment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to assess project maturity against gateway requirements, identify risks and development gaps, and translate findings into practical recommendations. It would also need to design and run structured business case workshops for applicants, helping them develop robust, fundable proposals for brownfield housing investment. Relevant capability includes business development consultancy, understanding of public funding programmes, housing and regeneration experience, stakeholder facilitation, workshop delivery and production of clear business cases. The scale of the award indicates a substantial, focused advisory assignment requiring enough experienced personnel to assess multiple projects and support applicants consistently across the programme.
