UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Braintree District Council commissioned a refresh and update of its Infrastructure Delivery Plan. The work is infrastructure planning consultancy: reviewing and updating the plan that sets out infrastructure needed to support development in the district. The recorded service classification is infrastructure works consultancy (CPV 71311300). Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Braintree. The requirement is a single service package rather than a set of separately described lots, and the selected provider is a specialist planning consultancy. This is relevant to firms advising public authorities on infrastructure planning and delivery requirements, particularly those able to assess and update an existing delivery plan.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Braintree District Council made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, to Troy Hayes Planning Limited. The award covers one lot. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 9 September to 31 December 2026. Its value is £67,534 excluding VAT and £81,041 including VAT. The recorded evaluation basis is not detailed; the procurement proceeded without competing bids. The awarded supplier is Troy Hayes Planning Limited, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The contract is for services, with the work classified as infrastructure consultancy.

For firms seeking to compete when Braintree District Council next requires this specific planning work, the award demonstrates demand for consultancy to refresh and update the council’s Infrastructure Delivery Plan. A credible provider would need the capability to review an existing plan and produce an updated assessment of infrastructure requirements, with experience relevant to infrastructure planning for a local authority. The council awarded the work directly without competition, so the selected supplier’s specialist planning focus is a useful indicator of the type of provider used for this requirement. This was a single, focused consultancy package, suited to a firm able to deliver the plan update as a contained assignment rather than a large multi-lot programme.
