UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned planning consultancy services for the BWR Phase 2 project. The requirement is environmental impact assessment (EIA) consultancy to support preparation of a planning application. It falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work is for the council’s BWR Phase 2 project and is delivered in Bath and North East Somerset. The appointed supplier is Boyer Planning Limited, a planning consultancy based in Camberley. The requirement is a professional advisory service rather than construction works or the supply of physical goods, so relevant businesses are those with environmental assessment and planning expertise that can support a public-sector development application.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Bath & North East Somerset Council used a direct award below the threshold without competition. Boyer Planning Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 28 August 2026 to 31 January 2029. The initial term is stated as 32 months, with no extensions available. Its value is £42,250 excluding VAT, or £50,700 including VAT; the total potential value is also £42,250 excluding VAT. The tender record describes an earlier contract start date of 26 May 2026 and records that the contract had started on that date, while the signed contract period begins on 28 August 2026. The evaluation basis was a direct award rather than a competitive assessment.

This award indicates that Bath & North East Somerset Council has a recurring need for specialist planning and environmental advice linked to major development projects and planning applications. Suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer would need demonstrable capability in environmental impact assessment, planning consultancy and the preparation of evidence that supports a planning application. They would also need to manage a sustained advisory assignment over several years, working to public-sector requirements and coordinating technical input for a defined project phase. The selected supplier’s profile shows that the council accepted a dedicated planning consultancy with the capacity to deliver the full EIA requirement. Firms with an established planning and environmental assessment team, relevant development-sector experience and the operational capacity to support a long-term council project would be best placed for similar future requirements.
