## Summary

East Renfrewshire Council appointed a lead consultant to assess potential housing development sites across East Renfrewshire. The work is feasibility studies and related professional consultancy: reports covering RIBA Work Stages 0–2 to test whether sites are technically and financially viable. Some assignments may extend beyond Stage 2. The requirement was for architect-led, multidisciplinary building consultancy services, delivered in East Renfrewshire. The studies are intended to help the council assess potential housing development before deciding how sites might proceed.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council selected Anderson Bell Christie Limited through a mini-competition under the SXL Building Consultancy Framework, using its architect-led multidisciplinary services lot; the route was an open procedure within that framework. The contract is valued at £500,000 and was signed on 24 September 2026. The process covered one lot. Three bids were received, all from SMEs. The published information does not state a separate award decision date or contract end date, so no contract duration can be reported. The stated requirement focuses on technical and financial feasibility studies, but no specific scoring weights or detailed evaluation criteria are provided in the procurement information.

This award shows demand from East Renfrewshire Council for lead-consultant support to assess prospective housing sites, with an architect-led multidisciplinary team able to produce RIBA Stages 0–2 feasibility reports. Credible competitors for a future equivalent requirement would need to bring both technical and financial appraisal capability, and the flexibility to support work that may extend beyond Stage 2. The framework mini-competition route is also relevant: suppliers would need to be eligible for the relevant building consultancy framework lot to compete through that route. Three SME bids were received for this competition, demonstrating participation by smaller firms.
