UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned landscape design consultancy for the BWR Phase 2 planning submission. The requirement covers professional landscape architectural services supporting the preparation of planning materials for this phase of the project. The procurement is therefore relevant to landscape architects, landscape designers and multidisciplinary planning practices able to develop landscape proposals for a public-sector planning submission. The council is based in Bath and is the organisation responsible for the requirement. The awarded service falls within the landscape architectural services category. The work concerns one defined requirement rather than a broad framework or a series of separate service areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Bath & North East Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. MacGregor-Smith Limited was selected for the single lot, and the award is active. The award date was 8 September 2026, when the contract was also signed. The contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 January 2029. Its value is £26,000 excluding VAT and £31,200 including VAT. The contract covers landscape design services for the BWR Phase 2 planning submission. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award, with no competitive evaluation basis stated.

This outcome demonstrates a public-sector requirement for a specialist landscape design practice to support a planning submission over a sustained delivery period. Businesses considering similar work for Bath & North East Somerset Council would need credible landscape architecture and design capability, with the ability to produce planning-quality landscape proposals and coordinate work around a defined project phase. Experience of planning submissions and public-sector clients would help demonstrate relevance, while the awarded supplier’s SME status indicates that a focused specialist practice can deliver this type of commission. Competitors should also be able to manage an end-to-end consultancy assignment, maintain professional outputs through the planning process and work to the council’s requirements.
