## Summary

The Ebbsfleet Development Corporation awarded a contract to Weston Williamson + Partners for Masterplan Consultancy Services for the Ebbsfleet Central Area. The contract, with a value of £151,134.50 GBP, was awarded through a selective procurement method as a modification of an existing agreement. The tender process started on 5th August 2020 and the contract period lasted from 6th August 2020 to 6th January 2022. The contracting authority, Ebbsfleet Development Corporation, is located in England and falls under the urban planning and landscape architectural services category.

This tender opportunity in urban planning services provides a chance for large-scale consultancy firms to showcase their expertise. Businesses experienced in engineering, infrastructure, and transport consultancy services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The award date was 5th August 2021, further cementing the partnership between the contracting authority and the successful supplier for the timely delivery of critical project requirements.

## Notice

Original contract was Called off from Homes England Framework for Multi-Disciplinary Consultant leading on engineering, infrastructure, and transport. This contract variation was required following the unforeseen inability of incumbent service provider to resource an urgent piece of time critical design work, which the Contracting Authority could not have foreseen. The incumbent service provider now undertaking the work is fully integrated into the project and has undertaken significant work on the project to date and work being undertaken is aligned to the nature of the contract. The work being undertaken is critical to the programme and contracting with a new supplier would increase cost and result in significant delay to the programme. 72(1) C allows for modifications to made if brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. Ebbsfleet Development Corporation undertook significant due diligence prior to contracting this supplier and there was no evidence that Natural England were considering a Site of Special Scientific Interest designation during the procurement of the services and this is therefore considered to be an unforeseeable circumstance.
