## Summary

Epping Forest District Council commissioned a high-level strategic masterplan framework for the East of Harlow Strategic Masterplan Area. The work is technical and urban planning consultancy: developing a strategic framework to guide planning across the area. Delivery is associated with Epping, Essex, with the specified delivery postcode CM16 4BZ. The requirement is for professional planning services rather than construction works or the supply of goods. The framework concerns the East of Harlow area, so relevant firms are those able to undertake strategic spatial planning and masterplanning for a defined growth area on behalf of a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Allies and Morrison LLP. The award was made on 21 September 2026. The awarded value is £112,112.50, and the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Epping Forest District Council used a selective call-off from the Homes England Development and Regeneration Technical Services Framework, Lot 2. The original estimated value range was £112,112.50 to £120,000. The tender deadline was 7 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was classed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award evaluation criteria or separate eligibility requirements are stated in the process information.

This award demonstrates demand from Epping Forest District Council for strategic masterplanning and technical planning support focused on the East of Harlow. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show strong urban planning and masterplanning capability, including the ability to shape a high-level framework for a strategic area. Experience advising local authorities on development and regeneration would be relevant to demonstrating that capability. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized firm, indicating that this scale of consultancy work was deliverable by an SME. The procurement route was a call-off from Homes England’s Development and Regeneration Technical Services Framework, so a supplier’s position on the relevant framework would be important to competing through the same route.
