UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bath & North East Somerset Council bought planning consultancy services for the BWR Phase 2 planning application. The requirement is for professional planning advice and support connected with that phase of the application, within the architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services category (CPV 71000000). The buying organisation is Bath & North East Somerset Council, based in Bath. The awarded supplier is Boyer Planning Limited, a large planning consultancy based in Camberley. The work relates to the council’s BWR Phase 2 project and is delivered for the council in Bath and the surrounding Bath and North East Somerset area. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction delivery, materials supply or routine administrative support, so it is most relevant to planning consultancies and firms with related development and infrastructure planning expertise.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active following a direct award below the threshold without competition. One lot was awarded to Boyer Planning Limited. The award was made on 10 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 January 2029, covering the initial 32-month term. Its value is £62,100 excluding VAT, or £74,520 including VAT. The total potential value is also £62,100 excluding VAT because there are no extension options. The award covers planning consultancy services for BWR Phase 2. The published outcome records Boyer Planning Limited as the selected supplier, and the tender status is complete.

This outcome identifies a defined requirement for planning consultancy supporting a council’s Phase 2 planning application. It is commercially relevant to planning practices that can provide sustained advisory and application-support services to a public authority, rather than firms focused only on construction, design production or commodity supply. Boyer Planning Limited is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the requirement can suit businesses with enough professional capacity to support a substantial planning commission over an extended delivery period. Competitors preparing for a future requirement of this type would need credible planning consultancy capability, experience supporting complex planning applications and the capacity to work with Bath & North East Somerset Council on a project-specific basis. The route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so familiarity with the council’s requirements and a clear, relevant service offer would be commercially important.
