UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is commissioning an extra care housing feasibility study. The work is a specialist consultancy service to assess the feasibility of extra care housing for the council. Delivery is in Bracknell Forest, Berkshire. The requirement is a single study rather than a programme of construction or housing operations, so it is relevant to consultancies with expertise in feasibility assessment and extra care housing. The council is the buyer and is seeking a suitably qualified specialist consultancy to carry out the study on its behalf.

The council invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The enquiry deadline was 11 November 2026 at 17:00, and the submission deadline was 20 November 2026 at 12:00. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 4 January to 3 May 2027, with an extension of up to one month possible by mutual consent, to 3 June 2027. There is one lot. Bids are assessed on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. Electronic submission is allowed through the stated procurement portal.

The opportunity suits specialist consultancies able to deliver a focused feasibility study in the extra care housing sector. The council explicitly considers the requirement suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to a range of consultancy providers rather than only large firms. The stated requirement is for a suitably qualified specialist consultancy; suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant expertise and capacity to assess the feasibility of extra care housing. The study's defined scope and single-lot structure may suit a consultancy able to lead the analysis and provide a complete study service. Quality carries more weight than price in evaluation, so suppliers should be prepared to evidence the strength and relevance of their proposed approach.
