## Summary

Bath & North East Somerset Council commissioned rights-of-light consultancy for the Bath Quays North development, covering Plots 6 and 7. The work is to test the development’s proposed massing against rights-of-light considerations and prepare an updated report for sharing with the project’s insurers. This is a specialist property and planning consultancy service, rather than general environmental advice. The work relates to a development in Bath, in Bath and North East Somerset.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, to Delva Patman Redler LLP. The award is for one lot. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026, with a period running from 5 October 2026 to 10 April 2028. Its value is £39,500 excluding VAT (£47,400 including VAT). The stated evaluation basis and award criteria are not detailed in the available process information.

This award shows demand for specialist rights-of-light advice supporting a development project and its insurance arrangements. A credible competitor for similar work would need to assess how proposed building massing affects rights of light, produce a clear and defensible technical report, and communicate findings in a form suitable for insurers. Relevant experience in rights-of-light analysis, planning-stage development work and preparing reports for property or project stakeholders would be directly applicable. The single-lot appointment and direct-award route indicate a focused consultancy requirement rather than a large multi-supplier service; the selected firm is described as a large supplier. Future competitors should be able to deliver this specialist advice and reporting for a major urban development in Bath.
