The procurement, conducted through an open competition below threshold, reached the award stage on 9th July 2026. The contractual period is set from 20th July 2026 to 31st December 2026. The main procurement category is services, with a gross contract value of £34,200. The successful supplier, INTELLIGENT PLANS AND EXAMINATIONS (IPE) LIMITED, is a small-to-medium enterprise based in Bath, UK. 

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in administration services, particularly those experienced with legal and infrastructure assessments. Companies of a smaller scale, such as SMEs, were able to compete effectively, evidenced by the winning bid from a small-to-medium enterprise. By participating in such tenders, businesses can expand their portfolios and gain valuable exposure within the public sector, potentially leading to increased business growth through future government contracts in related fields. Moreover, the high demand for assessing Community Infrastructure Levy proposals suggests that businesses with expertise in financial and regulatory compliance may find advantageous opportunities in similar bidding processes.
