## Summary

The procurement process for the "Western Gateway re-development consultancy" has been completed with Ipswich Borough Council, located in the East of England, acting as the buying organisation. This project involves consultancy services for redevelopment and regeneration, classified under the CPV code '70110000' for development services of real estate, as well as architectural, engineering, and planning services. The procurement adopted a selective method using a call-off from a framework agreement, with Drees and Sommer UK Ltd being awarded the contract. The tender stage concluded on 16th June 2026, and the contract is set to run from 6th July 2026 to 31st December 2028. The overall contract value is £3,181,860 GBP.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for growth in the consultancy sector, particularly for businesses experienced in large-scale redevelopment projects. While the procurement has already been awarded, future tenders of a similar nature might be of interest to companies that provide high-level architectural, engineering, and planning services. Additionally, as the opportunity was suitable for SMEs, smaller enterprises with relevant expertise could be well-positioned to compete in similar future procurements, expanding their portfolio and market presence in the regional development framework. Furthermore, participating in such projects reinforces a company's credentials within government-led regeneration initiatives.
