## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Southampton City Council is focused on appointing an Employers Agent and Principal Designer Consultants for the residential development of Plots 9 & 10 at Townhill Park in Southampton. This tender is currently in the tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 4th June 2020. The total value of the consultancy services is £100,000, and the procurement method adopted is competitive quotation, as it falls below the threshold established for traditional competitive tenders.
