## Summary

Hyndburn Borough Council has initiated a procurement process for the RIBA Stage 4 Design Service on a proposed new road project connecting Burnley Road with Altham Lane in Huncoat. The contracting process, conducted as a direct award due to compatibility requirements with existing services, has involved the direct engagement of ARCADIS CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED. The procurement highlights the completion of the tender stage, with the contract having been signed on August 21, 2025, and it is set to remain active until April 19, 2026, with potential extensions allowable until December 31, 2026. This initiative falls under the infrastructure works consultancy services industry, and is aligned with the legal frameworks as per the UKPGA, showcasing a proactive approach in public infrastructure design requirements.

This procurement provides substantial opportunities for businesses involved in infrastructure consultancy, particularly those experienced in large-scale design service contracts. Businesses specialising in urban infrastructure development and those capable of managing comprehensive design stages, including planning permissions and assessments, could find lucrative growth opportunities through similar extensions or direct awards. The procurement method being a direct award is indicative of a preference for maintaining continuity and cohesion in the project's progression, thereby favouring businesses with existing relations and proven expertise on related projects, whilst reinforcing the importance of expertise in maintaining design compatibility to avoid technical challenges.

In the circumstances, changing supplier would result in the contracting authority receiving a service that would be incompatible with the existing design and service provided that would result in technical problems in achieving the Stage 4 design.
