The procurement utilised an open competition method, falling below the threshold for open competition, and was in the award stage as of 15th July 2025. The tender period ended on 30th May 2025, and the awarded contract, valued at £58,740 gross, began on 15th July 2025 and is set to conclude on 17th October 2025. This procurement was vital for the review of the Local Plan to maintain the Peak District’s landscape and heritage, and the award was granted to Chris Blandford Associates Ltd. This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in multi-disciplinary consultancy, specifically those with capabilities in landscape, cultural heritage, planning, and ecology. With the potential for development in 23 key settlements, businesses specialising in these areas can find substantial growth opportunities through this project. The procurement was particularly suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), highlighting the potential for smaller companies to participate in public procurement processes and expand their footprint within the public sector. Such opportunities allow businesses to showcase their expertise while contributing to the conservation and enhancement efforts of national heritage sites like the Peak District National Park. ## Notice The Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) is seeking a multi-disciplinary consultancy (with specialists in landscape, cultural heritage, planning and ecology) to support us, in the review of the Local Plan, to understand the capacity for development in 23 key settlements within the context of our first purpose, which is to conserve and enhance the Peak District National Park's landscape, wildlife and cultural heritage. The project comprises a desk-based analysis, site assessments (including LVIA) and settlement capacity scoring with corresponding outputs at each stage. The final document will be a map (GIS) and text-based settlement landscape sensitivity and capacity assessment for each settlement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/039933-2025 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Jul 2025 | | Submission deadline | 30 May 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Jul 2025 | | Contract period | 14 Jul 2025 - 17 Oct 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | £60,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £48,950 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | PEAK DISTRICT NATIONAL PARK AUTHORITY | | Locality | BAKEWELL | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE45 1AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Bakewell | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CHRIS BLANDFORD ASSOCIATES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 15 Jul 2025 at 11:34 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/039933-2025 - 20 May 2025 at 09:43 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023062-2025 - 20 May 2025 at 09:41 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023059-2025 - 2 May 2025 at 10:48 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018712-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/039933-2025 15th July 2025 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023062-2025 20th May 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023059-2025 20th May 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/018712-2025 2nd May 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/looking-after/about-us/open-government/tenders Tender Notice ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
