Summary of the contracting process

Test Valley Borough Council is procuring a design-led multi-disciplinary consultancy team, or consortium, for the regeneration of the area south of Romsey town centre. The appointed team will prepare the design specification and deliver the project through to RIBA Stage 7, covering the full design and delivery lifecycle. The requirement is for architectural and related professional services, with associated professional services available as options. The work will be delivered in the South of Romsey Town Centre area, in Hampshire. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies able to bring together design, landscape, project management and wider built-environment expertise for a complex town-centre regeneration scheme, including engagement with the site and local community.

The procurement reached tender: the Council invited offers through a two-stage competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The enquiry deadline was 14 October 2026 at 11:00 and the tender submission deadline was 21 October 2026 at 11:00. The intended contract period is 28 January 2027 to 27 January 2032, with award decisions due by 13 January 2027. The single lot has an estimated value of £2.3 million excluding VAT, or £2.76 million including VAT. Evaluation is based on technical quality (55%), interview responses (15%) and commercial pricing and fees (30%), with legal compliance assessed pass/fail. Shortlisted bidders must attend an accompanied site visit and interview.

The requirement suits an established multi-disciplinary team with the capacity to take a regeneration project from specification through RIBA Stage 7. The evaluation rewards clear understanding of the project, evidence of first-hand engagement with the site, mature community consultation, and the ability to integrate and prioritise multiple projects. Bidders should be able to demonstrate a committed team with sufficient capacity, confidence in delivery and integrity in approach. The proposed team should include, at minimum, a lead designer, landscape architect and project manager for the site visit and later interview. Economic and technical participation conditions apply, and bidders must meet the procurement documents’ requirements. Consortium bids and relevant subcontracting arrangements are contemplated.
