UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council commissioned land agency consultancy for MetroWest Phase 1b. The work covers land referencing, land transfer, valuations, compulsory acquisition and related processes, supporting delivery of the MetroWest rail project. The services are for North Somerset, in the South West of England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ardent Management Ltd. The award was made on 13 October 2026, with a value of £717,401 excluding VAT (£860,881 including VAT). The contract period runs from 14 October 2026 to 31 October 2027, with an option for three one-year extensions, up to 31 October 2030. North Somerset Council used a selective route through the ESPO Estates Management Professional Services framework, under its compulsory purchase and compensation lot for South West England. The procurement was not run as a competitive call-off. It comprised one lot.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from North Somerset Council, this award shows demand for land agency expertise connected with rail infrastructure and land acquisition. A credible competitor would need to cover land referencing, land transfers and valuations, as well as compulsory acquisition and its associated processes. The requirement was delivered through an established professional services framework and awarded to a specialist management consultancy. The scope brings together property and land expertise with the ability to support the processes required to secure and transfer land for a transport project.
