It commenced on 11 February 2026 and is set to conclude on 10 November 2026, with a possibility for yearly extensions up to 2028. The procurement was conducted under an open competition method, falling below the threshold, indicating a streamlined process ideal for diverse suppliers. The relevant industry category is "Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis" in the UKH12 region. The awards span three active lots with distinct studies focusing on community infrastructure, burial grounds, and food-growing spaces, valued collectively at approximately £160,000. This procurement provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in urban planning, environmental consultancy, and community infrastructure. Large companies like LAND USE CONSULTANTS LIMITED, SMEs such as LANPRO SERVICES LIMITED and ROOTED PLACE C.I.C. have already engaged, illustrating a favourable environment for both large-scale and smaller firms to participate and compete effectively. The framework encourages businesses versed in comprehensive feasibility studies and advisory services to contribute to regional development projects, offering a platform to showcase innovation and expertise in local government initiatives. ## Notice The Councils are seeking suitably qualified consultants to: by July 2026 (with an interim output required in March 2026), prepare three separate (but inter-related) studies for the Greater Cambridge combined area, as follows: An Allotment & Alternative Food-Growing Spaces Study; A Burial Grounds Study; and A Community Infrastructure Study. Support the councils during the plan making process on any issues related to matters relating to the study's topic area, including at examination. (Given the uncertainties relating to timing and nature of this element of the work, we are initially seeking a quotation for day rates, with the precise scope and timeframes confirmed should the Councils seek to extend the contract beyond Summer 2026). ### Lot Information An Allotment & Alternative Food-Growing Spaces Study Lot 1; An Allotment & Alternative Food-Growing Spaces Study Options: This contract is for a 9 month contract the option to extend each and every year for 2 further years Renewal: This contract is for a 9 month contract the option to extend each and every year for 2 further years A Burial Grounds Study Lot 2: A Burial Grounds Study Options: This contract is for a 9 month contract the option to extend each and every year for 2 further years Renewal: This contract is for a 9 month contract the option to extend each and every year for 2 further years A Community Infrastructure Study Lot 3: A Community Infrastructure Study Options: This contract is for a 9 month contract the option to extend each and every year for 2 further years Renewal: This contract is for a 9 month contract the option to extend each and every year for 2 further years ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012225-2026 | | Notice type | UK6 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | 19 Dec 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | 11 Feb 2026 - 10 Nov 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £160,000 | | Lots value | £160,000 | | Awards value | £112,860 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SOUTH CAMBRIDGESHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | CAMBOURNE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB23 6EA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Market | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | TLH12 Cambridgeshire CC | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 3 | | Supplier names | LAND USE CONSULTANTS; LANPRO SERVICES; ROOTED PLACE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71241000 - Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis ## Release History - 11 Feb 2026 at 09:59 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012225-2026 - 27 Nov 2025 at 11:39 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077616-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012225-2026 11th February 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/077616-2025 27th November 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=46bbcbb5-81cb-f011-813a-005056b64545 ## Notice URLs - https://www.lanpro.co.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
