UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council commissioned consultancy services to produce Conservation Area Appraisals and corresponding Management Plans for the Ranmoor and Endcliffe conservation areas in Sheffield. The work involves collaborating with the council’s Design, Conservation and Trees Team and advisers from Historic England to develop the required content for both areas. This is an urban planning and heritage consultancy requirement, suited to firms providing conservation, townscape, architectural or planning expertise. The procurement covers two named conservation areas and is intended to support their assessment and future management. The appointed supplier is Donald Insall Associates Limited, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise specialising in the relevant professional consultancy field.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, Donald Insall Associates Limited, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 15 September 2027, with a possible three-month extension to 15 December 2027. Its gross value is £78,000. The contract is active and the award remains active. The contracting authority is Sheffield City Council. A contract amendment dated 22 September 2026 records a pricing error. The available procurement information identifies the requirement as urban planning services and confirms that the procurement used a limited method below the relevant threshold.

For future work of this kind, credible suppliers will need demonstrable experience in conservation-area appraisal and management planning, with the ability to combine heritage, townscape, architectural and urban-planning skills. The requirement favours consultants or consultant partnerships able to produce clear, evidence-based content for designated historic areas and to work constructively with a local authority conservation team and Historic England advisers. Relevant capacity includes managing work across two conservation areas, coordinating professional inputs, and turning assessment findings into practical management plans. The awarded supplier’s profile shows that a specialist SME can meet this type of council requirement, making it relevant to focused heritage and planning practices as well as larger multidisciplinary consultancies.
