The process involves advisory and consultative engineering, technical analysis, and financial consultancy services, with the procurement method outlined as a "competitive flexible procedure." This procurement process is at the planning stage, with submissions to be made through the Bucks Council electronic tendering site. Situated in Aylesbury, United Kingdom, the designated submission deadline for tenders is 4th August 2026, followed by an awards period concluding on 16th December 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in engineering, technical, and financial consultancy. Prospective suppliers specialising in these areas are invited to contribute to pivotal council projects such as Energy from Waste Litigation and development of waste management facilities. There is a substantial total contract value estimated at £17,119,200, fostering growth for businesses adept at providing specialist expertise in construction, site design, financial modelling, and compliance within legislative frameworks. Vendors with a track record of innovative solutions and strategic insights would be especially well-suited to meet the council's consultancy needs. ## Notice Neighbourhood Services currently have 3 contracts in place with external advisors to provide expertise and additional support to key projects. These contracts are due to expire 31st March 2027, Buckinghamshire Council is undertaking procurement for new contracts to replace the current arrangements upon expiry, to ensure the continuation of the required support. The 3 current contracts, awarded in April 2023 via the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) Framework, are for Engineering, Technical, and Financial support and they have assisted on a number of key projects including, but not limited to; * Energy from Waste (EFW) Litigation * Development of the High Heavens Waste Complex (HHWC) * New Buckingham Household Recycling Centre (HRC) * Persistent Organic Pollutant's (POPs) Construction Project * Options appraisal for alternative fuel waste vehicles * Waste Collection Methodology Options Appraisal and Harmonisation * HRC Drainage Compliance Without the expertise and additional resources provided by working with specialist consultants, the Council would find it extremely difficult to deliver these projects to the same standard, timeframe and cost. Particular areas or expertise that the current arrangements provide include construction, site design, planning application support, ecological surveys, legislative and regulatory positions, market analysis, best practice, financial modelling, and contract documentation drafting. ### Lot Information Engineering and Technical To procure consulting and advisory services in the area of engineering and technical Renewal: Contract length is in a preliminary decision stage, but currently planned 6+1+1 Financial To procure financial consultancy and advisory services Renewal: Contract length is in a preliminary decision stage, but currently planned 6+1+1 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058405-2026 | | Notice type | UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | 22 Jun 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2027 - 1 Apr 2032 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £17,119,200 | | Lots value | £17,119,200 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP19 8FF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Aylesbury North West | | Westminster constituency | Aylesbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 66171000 - Financial consultancy services - 71318000 - Advisory and consultative engineering services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services ## Release History - 22 Jun 2026 at 10:23 - PlanningUpdate - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058405-2026 - 13 Apr 2026 at 08:46 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033074-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058405-2026 22nd June 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033074-2026 13th April 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/buckinghamshire-council/aspx/Home - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
