Summary of the contracting process

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is seeking consultancy services to review existing town plans and develop Rural Place Plan Reviews for Gilford, Keady and Rathfriland. The work is research and development consultancy, including research and development and development consultancy services (CPV 73000000). It is intended for consultant teams able to undertake town-plan reviews and prepare place-plan reviews for these three locations. The Council is the buying organisation. The source describes the town plans as existing and calls for review and development work; the specific plan content and tasks are set out in the procurement documents.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition. The contract is a single lot, with a stated gross value of £54,000. The deadline for enquiries was 21 October 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 28 October 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 29 February 2028. Evaluation is weighted 75% for quality and 25% for cost. The procurement is below the applicable threshold. The tender is described as a below-threshold open competition; electronic submission is allowed.

This opportunity suits consultant teams with relevant experience reviewing town plans and developing rural place plans. Suppliers will need the capability to carry out research and consultancy for three named places and produce reviews of existing plans alongside development of Rural Place Plan Reviews. The requirement is for a defined, place-based consultancy assignment rather than delivery of physical works or goods. The quality-led evaluation makes the strength and relevance of the proposed approach important alongside price. The scope may suit teams combining planning, research and community or place-development expertise, provided they can demonstrate the experience and qualifications required by the buyer. The invitation is expressly aimed at suitably experienced and qualified consultant teams.
