Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned heritage consultancy support for the Hitches Lane project. The work covers input to the environmental impact assessment screening process and advice on whether scheduled monument consent is needed. If required, the consultant is to prepare a heritage statement and liaise with Historic England. This is a specialist heritage and environmental assessment service associated with a transport, highways or infrastructure project. The service is being delivered in Hampshire. The procurement was made as a call-off from Lot A of the Gen5 Consult Transport, Highways and Infrastructure Consultancy Framework, which covers 2026 to 2030.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited. The award was made on a selective basis as a below-threshold call-off under an existing framework, without a further competition. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July to 31 August 2026. Its value is £1,481.21 excluding VAT (£1,777.45 including VAT). It is a single-lot award. The scope requires advice on environmental impact assessment screening and scheduled monument consent, with a heritage statement and Historic England liaison if those are required. No separate evaluation criteria are stated for this call-off.

For suppliers positioning for similar Hampshire County Council requirements, this award demonstrates demand for focused heritage advice supporting infrastructure-project assessment and planning. A credible competitor would need to assess heritage implications, contribute effectively to environmental impact assessment screening, and advise whether scheduled monument consent is required. The ability to produce a clear heritage statement when needed and manage liaison with Historic England is also relevant. The work was sourced through a specialist transport, highways and infrastructure consultancy framework, so suppliers seeking comparable commissions would need access to an appropriate framework route as well as the technical capability to deliver a tightly scoped consultancy assignment. AtkinsRéalis UK Limited, a large consultancy, was selected for this call-off.
