## Summary

Westminster City Council commissioned planning consultancy services for the Queen Mother development opportunity site in London. The work covers RIBA Stages 1 to 4, supporting the development pipeline from preparation and brief development through to developed design and technical design. It falls within architectural, engineering and planning services, with planning consultancy as the specific requirement. The procurement is for services delivered in London. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement was arranged as a call-off from its Development Consultants Framework, using the framework’s planning consultants category. This indicates a development-related planning commission rather than construction, facilities management or general professional services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Savills (UK) Limited on 15 October 2025. The awarded contract value is £187,350. The contract period runs from 25 February 2026 to 24 February 2028. Bids were due by 6 June 2025 at 12:00. The route was a selective call-off from the Notting Hill Genesis Development Consultants Framework, Lot 4, Planning Consultants. The published procurement value was also £187,350. The recorded outcome is an active award to one supplier, with no separate lot awards reported. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need planning consultancy capability spanning RIBA Stages 1 to 4 and the ability to support a development opportunity site through successive design and planning stages. Experience of coordinating planning advice within a development pipeline would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to provide a sustained professional service over a multi-year commission. The route also shows the importance of access to the relevant development consultants framework and its planning consultants category, rather than relying only on an open tender response. The stated SME suitability means an appropriately experienced smaller consultancy could be well placed, provided it can demonstrate the required technical capability, resourcing and delivery capacity.
