## Summary

Lichfield District Council has completed the procurement process for the "New Settlement Feasibility Study," falling under the category of business services, including consultancy. The study, located in the West Midlands region (UKG2), commenced on 5 January 2026 and will conclude on 29 May 2026. The procurement process, identified as below threshold, was initiated as a tender stage and involves services industry contracts, which have now been awarded to HYAS ASSOCIATES LTD. The contract was signed on 29 December 2025 for a gross amount of £32,148, and falls under the legal framework outlined in the UKPGA 2023/54. This service procurement is aimed at evaluating the feasibility of new settlement development.

This procurement presents robust opportunities for consultancy firms, particularly SMEs, specialising in law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security services to venture into feasibility studies for new settlements. Given the project's nature and the involvement of a public authority at the sub-central government level, businesses equipped with expertise in feasibility reporting and consultancy in urban development are well-positioned to seize similar contracts. The collaboration between Lichfield District Council and HYAS ASSOCIATES LTD exemplifies a successful engagement that can serve as a blueprint for firms seeking growth within the public sector service provision.
