Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council commissioned consultancy services to prepare a City Centre Vision for Stirling city centre. The work is intended to support good placemaking and encourage investment in the city. It covers a single requirement delivered in Stirling and falls within construction consultancy services. The council is the public-sector buyer, with the requirement managed as a consultancy commission rather than a construction works contract or purchase of goods. The selected provider was Stallan Brand, based in Glasgow. The opportunity is therefore relevant to urban design, placemaking, regeneration, planning and built-environment consultancies able to develop strategic visions for town and city centres and translate them into approaches that support investment and improve places.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Stirling Council made a direct award without publishing a prior call for competition, using the Scotland Excel Building Construction Consultancy Framework, Lot 1. One bid was received, submitted electronically, and the award went to Stallan Brand. The contract is valued at £87,500 including the stated currency of GBP. It was signed on 23 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the applicable directive. The award covered one lot and the tender status is complete. The published outcome provides no separate award date, so the signing date is the relevant recorded contract milestone.

This procurement shows Stirling Council’s demand for specialist city-centre vision and placemaking consultancy, with a substantial single commission awarded through a recognised public-sector consultancy framework. A credible future competitor would need experience of strategic urban design or regeneration work, a strong understanding of how planning, public realm, investment and place identity interact, and the ability to produce a practical vision for a local authority. Evidence of delivering clear stakeholder-informed strategies and turning broad ambitions into investable, implementable proposals would be important. Suppliers would also need a route to compete through the relevant Scotland Excel Building Construction Consultancy Framework or an equivalent public procurement arrangement, as this requirement was awarded directly through that framework.
