UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned daylight and sunlight assessment services for the BWR Phase 2 planning application. The requirement is a professional services assignment supporting planning work, involving assessment of how daylight and sunlight affect the proposed development and surrounding environment. It sits within architectural, engineering and planning services. The work is for the Council’s BWR Phase 2 project and is associated with Bath & North East Somerset. The buyer is Bath & North East Somerset Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering the full service, rather than being divided into multiple areas of work. This is relevant to consultancies that provide technical daylight and sunlight assessments for development proposals and planning applications.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Bath & North East Somerset Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. EB7 LIMITED was selected for the single package. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 January 2029. Its value is £32,450 excluding VAT and £38,940 including VAT. The award was made on 8 September 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is below the relevant threshold, and the procurement concerns services rather than goods or works.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist daylight and sunlight assessment work linked to a major planning application for Bath & North East Somerset Council. A credible future competitor would need to provide robust technical assessments that can support planning decisions, explain the effects of proposed development clearly, and produce work suitable for submission and scrutiny within a planning process. Relevant capability lies in daylight and sunlight analysis, development and planning consultancy, technical reporting, and coordination with project and planning teams. The incumbent is an SME, showing that a specialist independent consultancy can deliver this type of public-sector assignment. Firms with demonstrable experience of comparable planning applications and the capacity to support a multi-year requirement would be well placed when this need returns to market.
