Summary of the contracting process

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council commissioned landscape architectural services for the Billingham Sports Hub project. The work covers site-wide landscape design, coordinating the site layout, levels and planting strategies and meeting biodiversity net gain requirements. The appointment forms part of the wider development of the sports hub and requires the landscape design to integrate with the overall site scheme. Delivery is in Billingham, in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees. The work is a specialist design consultancy service rather than construction or the supply of landscaping materials. The project calls for landscape input across the site, with coordination between the landscape design and the scheme’s technical design.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ryder Landscape Limited. The council used a limited procedure, making a direct award from the Procure Partnerships Framework’s Professional Services Architectural Design Lot, without a prior competition. One bid was recorded. The award was active, and the linked lot is marked cancelled. The stated evaluation criterion was price. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £51,354.16. The procurement data gives no contract period or award date, so the signed date is the only recorded contract date. The contract covers the single described requirement for Billingham Sports Hub; there are no separate lot awards or award values to report.

For landscape architecture practices, this appointment shows demand from Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council for site-wide design integrated with a complex sports-hub development. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate capability in coordinating landscape proposals with site layout, levels, planting strategies and the wider technical design, as well as addressing biodiversity net gain requirements. The council’s stated rationale stresses a suitably qualified and experienced multidisciplinary consultancy team, strong design coordination and project integration, and a record of delivering complex schemes with the council. The award was made through a framework route, so relevant framework membership and the ability to deliver professional architectural design services would be commercially pertinent. Price was the stated award criterion, making competitive pricing part of the evidence from this procurement.
