Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council commissioned external business appraisal services to assess Thames Freeport projects. The work is to produce appraisals compliant with the government’s Green Book guidance, supporting the accountable body in its assessment of those projects. It is a consultancy requirement rather than construction or the supply of goods. Delivery addresses span several regions across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Thurrock Council, based in Grays, Essex. The service is broadly classified as business and consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Cushman & Wakefield Debenham Tie Leung Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also active. Thurrock Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027, with an option to extend by 12 months, to a maximum period ending 31 October 2028. The contract value is £120,000 excluding VAT (£144,000 including VAT). The tender was divided into one lot. The published process data gives no evaluation criteria.

For firms seeking comparable future work from Thurrock Council, this award shows demand for external Green Book-compliant appraisal of Thames Freeport projects, delivered across a broad area of England. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in economic appraisal and the ability to apply Green Book requirements to projects in the Freeport context, as well as capacity to support the accountable body across multiple project locations. The selected supplier is a large property and professional-services firm, indicating that a provider able to deliver established consultancy support at this scale was selected. The procurement used limited competition below the applicable threshold, so experience and a strong fit with the buyer’s appraisal requirement would be important in competing through a similar route.
