## Summary

West Lindsey District Council commissioned a strategic framework and infrastructure readiness study for the Ag-Zone/A15 Growth Corridor. The study is intended to develop a deliverable framework for the corridor, principally in West Lindsey and including relevant sites in North Kesteven. The work is research and development consultancy, covering the strategic planning and infrastructure readiness needed to support growth in this area. The requirement was procured as a single lot, with delivery in Lincolnshire. It is relevant to consultancies with experience developing place-based growth frameworks and assessing infrastructure readiness for development corridors.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Amion Consulting Limited. West Lindsey District Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award covers one lot; no detailed evaluation criteria are recorded. The contract was signed on 15 October 2026 and runs from 21 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £99,500 excluding VAT and £119,400 including VAT. The awarded service is the Ag-Zone strategic readiness study. The process is recorded as complete, while the award and contract are active.

The award demonstrates demand from West Lindsey District Council for consultancy that can turn a growth-corridor ambition into a deliverable strategic framework, with infrastructure readiness central to the task. Relevant competitors would need to show they can assess development needs across a defined geography, connect infrastructure requirements with strategic growth planning, and produce practical recommendations that can guide delivery. The scope also spans sites in both West Lindsey and North Kesteven, so experience coordinating place-based work across district boundaries would be pertinent. This was a single-lot consultancy commission awarded through limited competition, indicating that a credible supplier needs to be identifiable and capable of delivering the integrated study rather than only a narrow technical component.

## Notice

The study will develop a deliverable strategic framework for the Ag-Zone/A15 Growth Corridor, principally within West Lindsey but including relevant sites within North Kesteven.
