UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council commissioned end-to-end advisory support for its City Centre North development. The work supports the council as it moves from selecting a developer towards entering into a Development Agreement, covering feasibility, analysis and related advice. Delivery is in Portsmouth, within the council’s local area. This is a professional services requirement focused on advising the council through a major development project and its transition from developer selection to agreement. The work is relevant to development consultancies and property or infrastructure advisers able to provide joined-up support across that process.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Portsmouth City Council selected MACE Consult Limited. The contract was signed on 19 May 2026, runs from 19 May 2026 to 31 March 2027, and is valued at £146,000 including VAT. The requirement was procured below the applicable threshold; no further procedure detail is recorded. It was arranged as one lot. The award is for feasibility study, advisory services and analysis. The published award information does not state a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the outcome and the named supplier are the available basis for understanding the decision.

This award shows Portsmouth City Council’s demand for end-to-end development advisory support spanning developer selection through to a Development Agreement. MACE Consult Limited, a large consultancy, was selected for this requirement, indicating that suppliers competing for comparable work will need credible capacity to advise across the full development transition rather than on a narrowly defined standalone task. Relevant experience in feasibility work, analysis and development advice would support a strong proposition, alongside the ability to work with a local authority on a city-centre project and carry advice through to agreement. The award provides a benchmark for the scale and advisory scope of this buyer’s requirement; firms with comparable project experience and resources are best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns to market.
