## Summary

Newark and Sherwood District Council commissioned architectural and lighting design for Newark Market Place, covering the RIBA Stage 3 design phase. The work is intended to develop the market place scheme through this design stage, combining architectural design with lighting design. It is a professional design-services requirement rather than a construction contract. Delivery is in Newark, Nottinghamshire, at the market place. The procurement is relevant to architecture and public-realm design practices able to provide coordinated architectural and lighting design for a town-centre public space. The appointed supplier is Urban Edge Environmental Consulting Ltd, based in Brighton; the council is the buyer.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Urban Edge Environmental Consulting Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the architectural and lighting design services. The contract was signed on 11 December 2025 and runs from 11 December 2025 to 10 April 2026. Its value is £46,122.50 excluding VAT (£55,347 including VAT). The award is active. The published procurement information does not set out a separate scoring formula or detailed evaluation criteria, so the stated outcome is the appointment of the named supplier through the limited competition.

For suppliers tracking future demand from Newark and Sherwood District Council, this award shows it commissions integrated architectural and lighting design for Newark Market Place, at RIBA Stage 3. A credible competitor would need architectural design capability alongside lighting expertise, and the ability to coordinate these disciplines for a public town-centre environment. Experience developing public-realm or market-place schemes to an equivalent design stage would be directly relevant. The council selected an environmental consulting business for this work, demonstrating that a specialist consultancy can deliver the requirement; firms with suitable in-house skills or a reliable design partnership could also be positioned to compete. This is a focused professional-services commission rather than a large construction delivery package.
