## Summary

Durham County Council commissioned project management services for the Horden Masterplan planning application covering Third, Fourth and Fifth Street. The requirement sits within the NEPO212 Support Services for Development of the Built Environment framework, Lot 7 for project management. The work is a professional service associated with construction and development project management, supporting the planning application and wider masterplan activity in Horden, County Durham. The awarded service is classified as construction project management services. Durham County Council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement was delivered in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to consultancies and project management practices with experience of managing built-environment or development projects and supporting planning-related work for local authorities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to IDENTITY CONSULT LIMITED, an SME based in Sunderland. Durham County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the NEPO212 framework. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 6 August 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £52,000 excluding VAT and £62,400 including VAT. One completed lot covered the full requirement, and the contract remains active. The award relates to the Horden Masterplan project management service and was made through the framework route rather than an open competition. The selected supplier is responsible for the services associated with the planning application for Third, Fourth and Fifth Street.

This award demonstrates a local authority requirement for specialist project management supporting a planning application within a built-environment masterplan. A credible future supplier would need to manage development or construction-related projects, coordinate activity linked to planning applications and provide structured project oversight for a public-sector client. Experience of working within a public procurement framework, particularly a built-environment support-services framework, would be directly relevant to the route used here. The appointed business is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only a large national contractor. Firms with strong project governance, client coordination and delivery experience in regeneration, development or construction environments would be well placed when this type of requirement is next considered by Durham County Council.
