The services cover concept design and spatial coordination from RIBA Stage 2 to Stage 3; arranging and coordinating environmental consultancy; planning and managing community consultation; identifying and engaging landowners and other stakeholders; and preparing and lodging the planning application. The team is also responsible for statutory approvals, monitoring the planning application, providing updates and making any amendments required through planning. This is a transport and infrastructure design consultancy requirement, rather than construction of the greenway itself. The stated delivery route is between Ballynahinch and Saintfield. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Collins Rolston Architects Ltd. The award date was 8 October 2026, at a value of £94,000. The contract period runs from 11 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The council used an open procedure through Lot 1 of its regeneration framework. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award information does not give evaluation weightings or a detailed account of the criteria used to select the supplier. The award is recorded as active. For consultancies preparing for a comparable requirement from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, this award shows demand for an integrated team able to take an active travel route from concept through coordinated design and planning. Credibility depends on delivering RIBA Stage 2 and Stage 3 design, managing environmental input, and handling planning submissions, statutory approvals and follow-up amendments. The work also requires practical community consultation and the ability to identify and engage landowners and other stakeholders along a route. Architecture and engineering practices, or multidisciplinary teams able to coordinate these specialist inputs, are well placed to compete. The council’s use of its regeneration framework and the SME suitability designation indicate a route and scale that may be relevant to smaller consultancies as well as larger teams. ## Notice Invitation to tender through the BCC Regeneration Framework Lot 1, for the provision of an Integrated Consultancy Team (ICT) to design a proposal for a new Greenway Route from Ballynahinch to Saintfield.
