## Summary

Hertfordshire County Council is undertaking a procurement process for the provision of Property Town Planning Consultants through an open framework, specialising in urban planning services. The contract has been awarded for this framework, which is designed to provide both general and specialised town planning advice to the Council as a landowner with a diverse property portfolio. This includes office spaces, schools, libraries, and more. The framework is scheduled to run from 1st December 2025 to 30th November 2029, with consultation provided across several regions, including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and others. The procurement stage is complete, with the award notice published on the 2nd of December 2025, following the tender period ending on 15th September 2025.

The awarded framework presents significant opportunities for growth in the urban planning sector, particularly for consultants specialising in property town planning. It brings business prospects for large organisations capable of covering substantial geographical areas and managing diverse property types. Five companies have been successfully awarded the contract, each of which can significantly benefit from the potential collaborations and expertise sharing among successful bidders. This opportunity would be well-suited for enterprises experienced in dealing with large-scale public property projects and those agile enough to adapt to the evolving demands of a public sector framework.

## Notice

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for the Provision of Property Town Planning Consultants Framework. This Framework is for provision of general and specialist town planning advice to Hertfordshire County Council (HCC or the Council) as a landowner. The Council's property portfolio is diverse and includes (but is not limited to) office accommodation, schools, libraries, fire stations, adult care facilities, waste management sites, rural estate land and buildings. The advice could relate to assets currently owned by the council, or those to be acquired. The Framework is for Property Town Planning Consultants as a single requirement and therefore it is not spilt into Lots. Full details are in the tender document set. The Specification is Schedule 1 of the Framework document. Tenderers should be aware that due to the nature of the Services provided, any Framework formed as a result of this procurement process shall be executed as a deed. Tenderers should seek independent legal advice on the implications of this prior to submitting their Tender, where appropriate. Please note that the contract requirements will be subject to available financial resources, supplier performance and flexibility to meet changing demands. The Council reserves the right at any time to cease the procurement process and not award a Contract or to award only part of the opportunity described in this notice. If the Council takes up this right, then they will not be responsible for or pay the expenses or losses, which may be incurred by any organisation or tenderer as a result.
