UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Halton Borough Council commissioned consultancy services for the Widnes Town Centre Public Realm project. The work is civil engineering consultancy, supporting the development of public realm improvements in Widnes, within the Halton borough. The procurement covers one lot and the recorded service is associated with the Widnes area. This is a professional services requirement rather than a construction works contract: the selected supplier is engaged to provide consultancy for the town-centre public realm project. The council is the buying organisation and the project location is Widnes.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to BCA Landscape Limited. The contract was signed on 12 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 May 2027. Its gross contract value is £42,459.60. The procurement used a below-threshold route; the recorded method details do not identify a more specific procedure. There was one lot, which is complete. The award is active, and the contract is active. The published information identifies the requirement as consultancy for Widnes Town Centre Public Realm, but does not set out an evaluation method or award criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Halton Borough Council for civil engineering consultancy focused on town-centre public realm. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show relevant consultancy capability in public realm and civil engineering, and the capacity to deliver a focused project for a local authority. The appointed supplier is a small or medium-sized business, showing that this scale of consultancy work can be delivered by an SME. Suppliers with experience translating public-realm objectives into practical consultancy outputs for an urban centre would be well placed to compete when comparable work returns to this buyer’s market.
