Summary of the contracting process

Worcestershire County Council commissioned planning consultancy for waste planning applications. The work covers acting as a planning case officer and preparing reports for the Planning and Regulatory Committee. It is a professional planning and technical consultancy service, rather than a supply of goods or construction works. The buyer is the county council, based in Worcester, and the recorded delivery areas span England. The requirement is centred on the assessment and reporting of waste planning applications, supporting the council’s planning decision-making. The contract was structured as a single lot, covering the planning case officer and committee-reporting requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Axis PED Ltd. Worcestershire County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot has an active award and contract. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its stated gross value is £60,000. The service is for planning case officer work, including preparation of the Planning and Regulatory Committee report for waste planning applications. The published data records no separate award date or detailed evaluation criteria, so the outcome is known but the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described more specifically.

This award demonstrates a defined need for specialist planning consultancy to assess waste planning applications and prepare material for a council’s Planning and Regulatory Committee. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to show it can provide planning case officer capacity and produce clear, decision-ready committee reports on waste applications. The scope is a focused professional services requirement, suited to a consultancy able to deliver both technical planning input and formal reporting for local-authority decision-making. Axis PED Ltd, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy was able to secure the work.
