## Summary

Wiltshire Council commissioned external planning consultancy support for Local Housing Needs Assessments (LHNA) and Economic Development Needs Assessments (EDNA). The work is intended to create robust, proportionate and policy-compliant evidence for the council’s Local Plan, with associated advice and support for council officers during plan preparation through to adoption. This is specialist planning and economic development consultancy, including assessment of housing and employment needs, evidence-base preparation and support through the local plan process. Delivery is in Wiltshire, for Wiltshire Council. The procurement is classified as project management consultancy services. It was structured as one lot covering both the housing and economic development assessment requirements and the related Local Plan support.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. Wiltshire Council used a limited procedure through a framework, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The stated evaluation criterion was price. The award is active and names National Framework Partnership Limited as supplier; one bid was recorded. The contract is active, valued at £100,000, and was signed on 11 August 2026. The procurement record also marks the single lot as cancelled, while recording the active award and contract against it. The contract can be extended by one year if required. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive.

This requirement is relevant to consultancies that combine housing-market analysis, economic development expertise and practical local-plan support. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience preparing Local Housing Needs Assessments and Economic Development Needs Assessments, and the ability to turn that analysis into robust, proportionate and policy-compliant evidence. It would also need to advise planning officers throughout plan preparation and support the process through to adoption, rather than supplying a standalone report. The requirement indicates demand for a supplier able to cover both housing and employment evidence, understand local planning policy, and work closely with a council’s professional team. Firms considering similar framework opportunities should be prepared to evidence comparable assessment work, sound project management and delivery across the full plan-making lifecycle.
