## Summary

Nottingham City Council commissioned development of a delivery plan for Nottingham’s long-term Vision, organised around its “Ten Bold Ideas”. The work is to turn those ideas into one integrated programme of action, setting priorities, responsibilities, milestones and measures of progress, and showing how different strands connect and where joint action is needed. This is urban planning consultancy work, delivered for Nottingham. The plan is intended to support the city’s economic growth, improve opportunity, strengthen places and build confidence among partners, investors and communities. The requirement therefore centres on translating a broad city vision into a practical, coordinated plan, rather than delivering construction or a standalone local project.

The procurement has been awarded. Nottingham City Council selected Ove Arup & Partners Limited, with an award value of £90,000. The award date was 20 July 2026, and the contract period runs from 21 July to 30 November 2026. The competition used an open procedure below the applicable threshold. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was procured as a single service, with no lots identified. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or specific participation requirements; the stated scope is the development of an integrated delivery plan for the Ten Bold Ideas. The recorded award is active.

For suppliers who did not win, the award demonstrates Nottingham City Council’s demand for consultancy that can convert a long-term city vision into an integrated, actionable delivery plan. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show relevant urban planning and strategy experience, and the ability to translate high-level ambitions into prioritised actions, clear responsibilities, milestones and progress measures. The work also calls for connecting multiple strands of activity and identifying where coordinated or joint action is needed. Suppliers able to bring together programme planning, practical delivery thinking and a clear approach to measuring progress would be well placed to demonstrate fit. The award went to a large consultancy, indicating that a substantial multidisciplinary consultancy was selected for this requirement; the procurement does not identify mandatory accreditations or specific eligibility conditions.

## Notice

Nottingham has launched its long-term Vision and is now moving into delivery. The Vision is structured around the "Ten Bold Ideas", which set out the major shifts needed to grow the city's economy, improve opportunity, strengthen places and build confidence among partners, investors and communities. The Council now needs a delivery plan to turn the Ten Bold Ideas into a single, integrated programme of action. The plan will set out priorities, responsibilities, milestones and measures of progress, while showing how the strands connect and where joint action is needed.
