UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Burnley Borough Council is seeking consultancy services to produce a conservation area appraisal, a masterplan and a design guide for the Burnley Canalside Conservation Area. The work is intended to guide the area’s conservation and future development; the detailed requirements are set out in the specification. This is a design and planning consultancy commission for suppliers with relevant conservation-area expertise. Delivery is in Burnley, Lancashire.

The Council invited tenders through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 16 November 2026 at 23:59, and bids were due by 14 December 2026 at 15:00, submitted electronically through The Chest. The procurement is divided into one lot, with a stated value of £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 21 January to 31 May 2027, with an extension of up to one month potentially acceptable in specified circumstances. Evaluation assigns 70% to quality and 30% to price. Bidders were asked to identify in their method statements if the planned dates were unsuitable.

This opportunity is suited to consultancies able to bring together conservation-area appraisal, masterplanning and design-guide skills. The Council specifically sought contractors with sufficient resources and capacity, and experience working with local-authority clients. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable for the requirement. Suppliers should be able to deliver the work to the Council’s specification and explain their proposed approach through method statements, including how they would manage the planned timetable. The strong weighting for quality means a well-evidenced methodology and relevant public-sector experience are central to a competitive offer, alongside a credible price.
