## Summary

West Northamptonshire Council commissioned professional services for the Castle Gardens affordable housing development. The requirement covered project management, cost consultancy, planning consultancy and architectural services, alongside construction-related support. It falls within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services. The work concerns the development and delivery of affordable housing rather than the construction works themselves. The council is based in Northampton, and the project is associated with the Castle Gardens development. The procurement was arranged through the Perfect Circle / SCAPE National Consultancy Framework, indicating a requirement for an established multidisciplinary consultancy able to coordinate design, planning, cost and project-management activities for a public housing scheme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. West Northamptonshire Council used a limited procedure without a separate call for competition, relying on the SCAPE National Consultancy Framework under its framework terms. The award date was 20 August 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. Perfect Circle JV Ltd was awarded the contract for £1,630,220. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated on price, and one bid was recorded. The procurement rationale states that the framework had already been procured under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and that the contract fell outside the relevant directive scope. The tender period is represented by one cancelled lot, while the associated award remains active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for a single consultancy capable of bringing together project management, cost consultancy, planning consultancy and architectural services for affordable housing development. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable strength across these disciplines, with the capacity to manage their interfaces through design development, planning and delivery. Experience of public-sector housing schemes and of working within formal consultancy frameworks would be relevant, as would the organisational scale to resource a substantial, multidisciplinary commission. The award also shows that the buyer used a framework route and applied price as the stated evaluation basis, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be prepared to meet framework requirements and compete commercially on a clearly priced service offer.
